The half life of ._38^90Sr is 28 years. The disintegration rate of 15 mg of this isotope is of the order of

Answer»

`10^11` Bq
`10^10` Bq
`10^7` Bq
`10^9` Bq

Solution :Here, `T_(1//2)`=28 years=`28xx3.154xx10^7` s
Asnumber of ATOMS in 90 G of `._38^90Sr=6.023xx10^23`
`therefore ` NUMBER of atoms in 15 mg of `._38^90Sr =(6.023xx10^23)/90xx15/1000`
i.e., `N=1.0038xx10^20`
Rate of DISINTEGRATION, `=0.693/T N=(0.693xx1.0038xx10^20)/(28xx3.15xx10^7)`
`=7.877xx10^10 "Bq" approx 10^10` Bq
