Uranium `._(92)U^(238)` decayed to `._(82)Pb^(206)`. They decay process is `._(92)U^(238) underset((x alpha, y beta))(rarr ._(82)Pb^(206))`
`t_(1//2)` of `U^(238) = 4.5 xx 10^(9)` years
Atomic mass of `U^(238)` is 238.125 amu. Its packing fraction will be

A

6.25

B

0.125

C

12.5

D

5.25

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Isotopic atomic weight of `U^(238) = 238.125` amu
Atomic weight of `U^(238) = 238` amu
`:.` Packing fraction `= (238.125 - 238)/(238) xx 10^(4)`
`= 5.25`
