The half life of ""_(92)^(238)U undergoing alpha decay is 4.5 xx 10^9 years what is the activity of 1g. Sample of ""_(92)^(238)U.

Answer»

Solution :`T_(1//2)=4.5 xx 10^9 y`
`=4.5 xx10^9xx3.16 xx10^7s`
`=1.42xx10^(17)s`
`1g "of" ""_(92)^(238)U "contains" =1/(238)xx6.025 xx10^(23)"ATOM"`
`=25.3 xx10^(20) "atom"`
`THEREFORE "decay RATE " =R =LAMBDA N=(0.693)/TxxN`
`=(0.693 xx25.3 xx10^(20))/(1.42xx10^(17))s^(-1)`
`=1.23 xx 10^4 `bq.
