    The half-life of radium is 1620 years and its atomic weight is 226 kg per kilo mol. The number of atoms that will decay from its 1 gm sample per second will be : (Avogadros number \[N=6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\] atoms/mol)

    A) \[3.61\times {{10}^{10}}\]                           

    B) \[3.6\times {{10}^{12}}\]

    C)  \[3.11\times {{10}^{15}}\]                          

    D)  \[31.1\times {{10}^{15}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    From the formula \[\frac{dN}{dt}=\lambda N\]                    ??.(i) and  \[\lambda =\frac{0.693}{{{T}_{1/2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{0.693}{1620\times 365\times 24\times 60\times 60}\]   ??(ii) and        \[N=\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{226}\]                            ?..(iii) Now from equations (ii) and (iii), putting the values of K and N in equation (i), we get \[\frac{dN}{dt}=\frac{0.693\times 6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{1620\times 365\times 24\times 60\times 60\times 226}\] \[=3.61\times {{10}^{10}}\]
