1.

A radioactive substance has 0.1 gm at a particular instant and has an average life of 1 day . The mass of the substance which decays during the 4th day is give by :A. `6.25 mg`B. `12. 5 mg`C. `3.2 mg`D. `1.25 mg`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`[t=(1)/(lambda)=1]`day
After 3 days left
`w_(1)=wxx e^(-lambdat)`
`w_(1)=wxx e^(-3)`
After 4 days left
`w_(2) =w xx e^(-4)`
`w_(1)-w_(2) =we^(-3)=0.1 [ (1)/(e^(3))-(1)/(e^(4))]=3.2 mg `
