The radionuclide `.^(56)Mn` is being produced in a cyclontron at a constant rate `P` by bombarding a manganese target with deutrons. `.^(56)Mn` has a half-life of `2.5 h` and the target contains large numbers of only the stable manganese isotopes `.^(56)Mn`. The reaction that produces `.^(56)Mn` is `.^(56)Mn +d rarr .^(56)Mn +p` After being bombarded for a long time, the activity of `.^(56)Mn` becomes constant, equal to `13.86 xx 10^(10) s^(-1)`. (Use `1 n2=0.693`, Avagardo number `=6 xx 10^(2)`, atomic weight of `.^(56)Mn=56 g mol^(-1)`). At what constant rate P, `.^(56)Mn` nuclei are being produced in the cyclontron during the bombardment?A. `2xx10^(11) "nuclei"//s`B. `13.86xx10^(10) "nuclei"//s`C. `9.6xx10^(10) "nuclei"//s`D. `6.93xx10^(10) "nuclei"//s`
