    The half-life of a radioactive element is 10 h. How much will be left after 4 h in 1 g atom sample?

    A)  \[~45.6\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{23}}\text{ atom}\]

    B)  \[4.56\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{23}}\text{ atom}\]

    C)  \[4.56\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{21}}\text{ atom}\]

    D)  \[4.56\text{ }\times \,\,{{10}^{20}}\text{ atom}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\text{k = }\frac{0.693}{{{t}_{1/2}}}=\frac{0.693}{10}h{{r}^{-1}}\] \[k=\frac{2.303}{4}\log \frac{1\times 6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{N}\] \[(\because \,1\,g\,\text{atom}=6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\,\text{atom})\] \[\Rightarrow \]     \[\frac{0.693}{10}=\frac{2.303}{4}\log \frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{N}\] or            \[\log \frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{N}=0.12036\]                 \[\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{N}=1.319\] \[\therefore \]  \[N=4.56\times {{10}^{23}}\text{atom}\text{.}\]
