The half-life of \(\mathrm{Ra}^{226}\) is 1620 years. Then the number of atoms decay in one second in \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of radium (Avogadro number \(=6.023 \times 10^{23}\) )

  1. A \(4.23 \times 10^9\)
  2. B \(3.16 \times 10^{10}\)
  3. C \(3.61 \times 10^{10}\)
  4. D \(2.16 \times 10^{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3.61 \times 10^{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of atoms decay in one second \(\frac{d N}{d t}=\lambda N\) \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{0.693}{1620 \times 365 \times 86 \times 400} \times \frac{6.023 \times 10^{23}}{226} \\ & =3.61 \times 10^{10}\end{aligned}\)
