How many disintegrations per second will occur in one gram of `._92U^(238)`, if its half life against alpha decay is `1.42xx10^(17)s` ?

Answer» Given Half-life period `(T)=(0.693)/(lambda)=1.42xx10^(17)s`
`lambda=(0.693)/(1.42xx10^(17))=4.88xx10^(-18)`
Avagadro number `(N)=6.023xx10^(23)` atoms
`n=` Number of atoms present in `1 g` of `._(92)^(238)U = (N)/(A)`
`=(6.023xx10^(23))/(238)=25.30xx10^(20)`
Number of disintegrations`=(dN)/(dt)=lambdan`
`=4.88xx10^(-18)xx25.30xx10^(20)`
`=1.2346xx10^(4)` disintergrates/sec
