The half-life of 9038Sr is 28 years. What is the disintegration rate of 15 mg of this isotope?
From the principle of exponential radioactive decay,
we know that ![]()
Here, the mass of the isotope is = 15 g
No. of atoms in 15gm of atom is =
atoms
And, λ = (0.693/T1/2) where, Half life = 28 × 365 × 86400 = 8.83 × 108 secs
Hence,![]()
The disintegration rate of 15 mg of the isotope will be ![]()
