    One gram atom of a radioactive isotope \[({{t}_{1/2}}=10\,h)\]that emits alpha particle was placed in a sealed container. The time taken for  0.875 g atom of helium to accumulate in the container is

    A)  10 h           

    B)  20 h

    C)  30 h            

    D)  40 h

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\frac{N}{{{N}_{0}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[{{N}_{0}}=1\,g\] \[N=1-0.875=0.125\,g\] \[\frac{0.125}{1}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{125}{1000}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{1}{8}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\] \[n=3\] \[\therefore \] Total time \[(T)=n\,\times \,{{t}_{1/2}}\] \[=3\times 10\] \[=30\,h\]
