If one starts with `1` Curie `(Ci)` of radioactive substance `(t_(1//2)=15 hr)` the activity left after a periof of two weeks will be about `0.02x muCi`. Find the value of `x`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 9
`k=0.693/(15 hr)=0.0462 hr^(-1)`
`k=2.3/(14xx24 hr) log c_(0)/c_(t)`
`0.0462 hr^(-1)=2.3/(14xx24 hr) log.(1 Ci)/c_(t)`
Solve for `c_(t):`
`:. c_(t)=1.82xx10^(-7) Ci~~0.18 muCi=0.02x muCi`
`:. x=9`Correct Answer - 9
