A radioactive isotope having t_ 1 / 2 =3 days was read after 12 days. If 3 g of isotope is contained in container, the initial weight of isotope was
Options
- A12 ~g
- B24 ~g
- C36 ~g
- D48 ~g
Correct answer
D. 48 ~g
Step-by-step solution
aligned T &=n t_ 1 / 2 12 &=n 3 n &=4 N &=N₀ ( 1 2 )^ n 3 &=N₀ ( 1 2 )⁴ 3 &=N₀ 1 16 N₀ &=16 3=48 ~g aligned
