The half life of polonium is 140 days. In what timewill 15 g of polonium be disintegrated out of its initial mass of 16 g ?

Answer»

230 days
560 days
730 days
160 days

Solution :Here, `m_0`=16 G, m=16-15 =1 g
As `m/m_0=(1/2)^N` or `1/16=(1/2)^4=(1/2)^n`
`rArr` n=4
Time taken to disintegrate = `T_(1//2)xxn = 140 xx 4`
=560 days
