The rate of radioactive disintegration at an instant for a radioactive sample of half life \(2.2 \times 10^{9}\; \mathrm{s}\) is \(10^{10} \;\mathrm{s}^{-1} .\) The number of radioactive atoms in that sample at that instant is

  1. A \(3.17 \times 10^{20}\)
  2. B \(3.17 \times 10^{17}\)
  3. C \(3.17 \times 10^{18}\)
  4. D \(3.17 \times 10^{19}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3.17 \times 10^{19}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}=2.2 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{R}=10^{10} \mathrm{s}^{-1}, \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{N} \lambda\) \(\mathrm{N}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\lambda}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{0.693} \mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}=\frac{10^{10} \times 2.2 \times 10^{9}}{0.693}\)\(=3.17 \times 10^{19}\; atoms\)
