The fraction of atoms of a radioactive element that decays in& 66 days is 78\dfrac{7}{8} . The fraction that decays in 1010 days will be

Options

  1. A7780\dfrac{77}{80}
  2. B7180\dfrac{71}{80}
  3. C3132\dfrac{31}{32}
  4. D1516\dfrac{15}{16}

Correct answer

C. 3132\dfrac{31}{32}

Step-by-step solution

\dfrac{7}{8}fraction decays in&6days<br/><br/><br /><br />\dfrac{1}{8}fraction is active after&6days<br /><br />By using,&N = {N}_{0}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)t / {T}_{1/2}<br/><br/><br /><br />N = \dfrac{N0}{2n}<br/><br/><br /><br />\dfrac{N0}{8} = \dfrac{N0}{2n}<br/><br/><br /><br />n = 3</p><p></p><p>6days = halflives<br/><br/><br /><br />t\dfrac{1}{2} = 2days<br/><br/><br /><br />10days = 5{t}_{1/2}<br/><br/><br /><br />N = \dfrac{N0}{25} = \dfrac{N0}{32}<br/><br/>Sodecay=N0−N032=3132N0<br /><br />Sodecay = {N}_{0} - \dfrac{N0}{32} = \dfrac{31}{32}{N}_{0}
