The fraction of atoms of a radioactive element that decays in& days is . The fraction that decays in days will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
\dfrac{7}{8}fraction decays in&6days\dfrac{1}{8}fraction is active after&6days<br /><br />By using,&N = {N}_{0}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)t / {T}_{1/2}N = \dfrac{N0}{2n}\dfrac{N0}{8} = \dfrac{N0}{2n}n = 36days = halflivest\dfrac{1}{2} = 2days10days = 5{t}_{1/2}N = \dfrac{N0}{25} = \dfrac{N0}{32}
