A radioactive sample has \(4.0 \times 10^{18}\) active nuclei at a certain instant. How many of these nuclei will still be in the same active state after three half lives ?
- A \(2.5 \times 10^{17}\)
- B \(2.0 \times 10^{18}\)
- C \(3.5 \times 10^{18}\)
- D \(5.0 \times 10^{17}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5.0 \times 10^{17}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(N = N_0 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\) \(N = 4.0 \times 10^{18} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\) \(N = 4.0 \times 10^{18} \times \frac{1}{8}\) \(N = 5.0 \times 10^{17}\)

- Read the given passage and answer the question given below.
The sex linked recessive disease, which shows its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of the male progeny has been widely studied. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected. Due to this in an affected individual a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding. The heterozygous female (carrier) for the disease may transmit it to sons. The possibility of a female becoming a sufferer of disease is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be at least carrier and the father should be sufferer. The family pedigree of Queen Victoria shows a number of suffering descendents as she was a carrier of the disease.

Amines are classified as primary \(\left(1^{\circ}\right)\), secondary \(\left(2^{\circ}\right)\) and tertiary \(\left(3^{\circ}\right)\) depending upon the number of hydrogen atoms replaced by alkyl or aryl groups in ammonia molecules. Aliphatic amines are a stronger bases due to \(+I\) effect of an alkyl groups. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary and secondary amines affects the boiling points of amines. The intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines as there are more number of hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bond formation. Nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided nickel, palladium or platinum and also by reduction with metals in an acidic medium. Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amines. Primary amines react with nitrous acid to give unstable diazonium-salts which can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds.
