    The weight in gram of 1 curie of radioactive element \[^{200}X\] having \[a\,\,{{t}_{1/2}}\] of \[69.3\min \] is:

    A) \[3.7\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]                            

    B) \[7.4\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]

    C) \[3.7\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]                            

    D) \[200g\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{t}_{1/2}}=63.43\min =69.3\times 60s=4158s\]                 \[\lambda =\frac{0.693}{{{t}_{1/2}}}=\frac{0.693}{4158}{{s}^{-1}}\]                     \[=1.67\times {{10}^{-4}}{{s}^{-1}}\] Let mass of radioactive sample\[=m\,\,g\] \[\therefore \]number of atoms in the sample,                 \[N=\frac{m\times 6.02\times {{10}^{23}}}{200}\]                   \[=3.01\,\,m\times {{10}^{21}}\]           Rate\[=\lambda N\] \[3.7\times {{10}^{10}}=(1.67\times {{10}^{-4}})\times (3.01m\times {{10}^{21}})\]              \[m=\frac{3.7\times {{10}^{10}}}{(1.67\times {{10}^{-4}})(3.01\times {{10}^{21}})}\]
