A sample of radioactive material has mass m, decay constant lambda, and molecular weight M. Avogadro constant =N_(A). The initial activity of the sample is:

Answer»

`LAMBDAM`
`(lambdam)/M`
`(lambdamN_A)/M`
`mN_Alambda`

Solution :Activity = number of disintegrations per unit TIME Activity =`|(dN)/(dt)|=lambdaN`
where N = the TOTAL number of nuclei
ALSO, N = number of MOLES x `N_A=(m/M)N_A`
`therefore ` Initial activity=`(lambda mN_A)/M`
