Answer» Correct Answer - `(b)`
`2.303 log t_(C_(1)) = (E_(1))/(R) [(T_(2) - T_(1))/(T_(1) T_(2))]`
`2.303 log T_(c_(2)) = (E_(2))/(R) [(T_(2) - T_(1))/(T_(1) T_(2))]`
`2.303 [log T_(C_(1)) - log T_(C_(2))]`

Calculate the no. of `alpha-` and `beta-` particles given during the change: `._(93)^(237)Np rarr ._(83)^(209)Bi` Also report the nature and name of this radioactive series.

Answer» `._(93)Np^(237) rarr ._(83)Bi^(209) + a_(2) He^(4) + b _(-1)e^(0)`
Where `a` amd `b` are `alpha` and `beta-` particles given out during change.
Equating mass number: `237 = 209 + 4a + 0 xx b`
`a = 7`
Equating atomic number, keeping `a = 7`
`93 = 83 + 2xx7 + b xx (-1)`
`b = 4`
Thus `7 alpha`, and `4beta-` are given out during the change also `237//4 = 59` with remainder 1 and thus it is `(4n + 1)` series, the artificial radioactive sereis also called as napunium series with `n = 59`.

A sample of `._(131)^(53) I` is iodide ion was admistered to a patient in a carrier consisting of `0.10 mg` of stable iiodide ion. After 4 day `67.7%` of initial radioactivity was detected in the throid gland of the patient. What mass of stable iodide ion had migrated to thyroid glad? (`t_(1//2)` for iodide ion = 8 day)

Answer» If `t = 4`day, `lambda = (0.693)/(8)`, then since `r_(0) prop N_(0)` and `r prop N`
`:. (r_(0))/(r) = (N_(0))/(N)`
`:. t = (2.303)/(lambda) log (r_(0))/(r)`
`4 = (2.303xx8)/(0.693) log (1)/(0.693) log (r_(0))/(r)`
`r = 0.707 r_(0)`
Thus iodide ion left is `0.707` part of intially injected sample, however the rate decreases only `67.7%` or `0.688` in 4 days, thus
If `0.707` is left then iodidie ion migrated to thryorid `=1` Thus `0.677` is left than iodide ion migrated to thyroid
`= (1xx0677)/(0.707) = 0.958` or `95.8%`
of the iodide ion is migrated to gland.

A drug is given intravenously and drug concentrations in blood measured at 1 and 4 hour are 26 and `18mu g//mL`. What is the half-line of drug and at what time will the level decreases to `10mu g//mL`

Answer» `t = (2.303)/(lambda) log (N_(0))/(N)`
`t = 1 hr, N = 26 mu g//mL`
`:. 1 = (2.303)/(lambda) log (N_(0))/(26)` ...(i)
`t = 4hr, N = 18 mug//mL`
`:. 4 = (2.303)/(lambda) log (N_(0))/(18)` ....(ii)
`:.` By eqn. (i) and (ii)
`lambda = 0.123 hr^(-1)` and `N_(0) = 29.40 mug//mL`
`:. t_(1//2) = (0.693)/(lambda) = (0.693)/(0.123) = 5.63 hr`
Now `t = (2.303)/(0.123) log (29.40)/(10) = 8.77 hr`

A sample of wooden aircrafts is found to undergo `9 dp m g^(-1)` of `.^(14)C`. What is appoximate age of aircraffts? The half line of `._(6)^(14)C` is `5730` year and rate of disintergration of wood recently cut down is `15 dp m g^(-1)` do `._(6)^(14)C`?

Answer» Given, `r_(0) = 15` dpm, `r = 9` dpm, `t_(1//2) = 5730 yr`
`t = (2.303)/(lambda) log (r_(0))/(r)`
`= (2.303xx5730)/(0.693) log (15)/(9)`
`= 4224.47 yr`

Tritium, `._(1)T^(3)` (an isotope of `H`) combine wityh flurine to form a weak acid `TF` whch ionises to give `T^(+)` prepared dilute aquios solution of `TF` has a `pt` (euivalent of `pH`) fo 1.7 and frezze at `- 0.372^(@)C`. If `600mL` of freshly prapared soltuion were allowed to stand for `24.8` years, calculate: (i() Ionisation constation of `TE` (ii) Charge carried by `beta-` particles emitted by tritium in faraday. Given: `K_(f)` for `H_(2)O = 1.86, t_(1//2) (T) = 12.4yrs`.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i) `2.5xx10^(-3)`, (ii) `0.054` faraday

What is the charge in mass when 2 mole of hydroghen atoms combine to form 1 mole fo `H_(2)` molecule if: `2H rarr H_(2), Delta E = -436 kJ`? Comment on the result.

Answer» Let total energy is obtained as a result of mass decay.
`Delta m = (Delta E)/(c^(2)) = (436xx10^(3))/((3.0xx10^(8))^(2))`
`= 4.84xx10^(-12)kg = 4.84xx10^(-9)g`
Thus loss is mass accompanying formation of 1 mole of `H_(2)` form its constrituent atoms is `4.84xx10^(9)g`. It is too small to be deterctable by any balance currently available. Thus the energy difference can be given due to attactions among `H-` atom to form `H-H` bond.

Statement: parent element of `(4n + 1)` series is Plutonim `-241` Explanation: It decays to give `8alpha` and `5beta` particles.A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.B. `S` is wrong but `E` is correct.C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `c`
parent element of `(4n + 1)` series is `.^(241)Pu`. The series gives `8alpha` and `5beta-` particlles to give finally stable element `.^(209)Bi`.

True or False Statements : In a radioactive element the fraction of initial amount remaining after its mean life time is l/e.

Answer» Correct Answer - [T]
`(c_(1))/(c_(0))=e^(-lambdax(1)/(lambda))=e^(-1)=(1)/(e)`

What is the value of `n` for the present element of `(4n + 3)` series?A. `59`B. `58`C. `57`D. `60`

Answer» Correct Answer - `(b)`
parent element of `(4n + 3)` series is `._(92)^(235)U`,
Thus `(235)/(4) = [58xx4+3]`

If proton/neutron ratio of an isotope is less than one then which of the following emission will be shown by the isotopeA. `beta`-particleB. Positron emissionC. K electron captureD. Either (B) or (C)

Answer» Correct Answer - A
[If `(P)/(n) lt 1`
Then `._(0)n^(1) rarr._(1)P^(1) +._(-1)beta^(@)`
Hence there will be `beta` emission

Statement: Neutron decay result in `beta-` emission and emission of neutrino. Explanation: Higher values of `n//p` ratio give rise to neutron decay.A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.B. `S` is wrong but `E` is correct.C. Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `b`
Neutron decay occurs due to high `n//p` ratio as:
`._(0)^(1)n rarr ._(+1)^(1)p + ._(-1)^(0)e overline(v)` (antineutrino)
