The half life of radioactive element is ...

The half life of radioactive element is `20 min`. The time interval between the stages of its `33%` and `67%` decay is

A

`40 min`

B

`20 min`

C

`30 min`

D

`25 min`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Change in `67%` to `33%` is almost half the concentration change.
`67%underset("change")overset("Half")rarr 33.5 (~~ 33%)` ltbr. So time interval between the stages of its `33%` and `67%` decay is same as `t_(1//2) = 20 min`.
