The count rate fromfrom 100 cm^3 of a radioactive liquid is c. Some of this liquid is now discarded . The count rate of the remaining liquid is found to be c/10 after three Half-lives. Find the volume of the remaining liquid , in cm^3 ?

Answer»

Solution :INITIAL count rate (CR) for 1 `cm^3` of LIQUID `=c/100`
After 3 half - lives , CR for 1 `cm^3` of liquid `=1/(8)xxc/100`
Let the volume of the remaining liquid `=V cm^3`
CR of this liquid `=V xxc/(800)=c/10 " or " V = 80`
