What mass fo `C^(14)` with `t_(1//2) = 5730` year has activity equal to one curie?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know, 1 cirie `= 3.74xx10^(10)` disintengration `sec^(-1)`
i.e., Rate `= 3.7xx10^(10) dps`
Now Rate `= lambda xx` No of atoms
`3.7xx10^(10) = (0.693)/(5730xx365xx24xx60xx60) xx` No. of atoms
No of atoms `= 9.65xx10^(21)`
Now `6.023xx10^(23)` atoms of `C^(14) = 14g`
`:. 9.65xx10^(21)` atoms of `C^(14)`
`= (14xx9.65xx10^(21))/(6.023xx10^(23)) = 0.2243g`

What mass of C^(14) with t_(1//2) = 5730 years has activity equal to curie?

Radioactive disintergation always follow I order kinetics and is independent of all external factors and is represented by the relation N = N_(0) e^(-lambda t) where lambda is decay constant and N atoms are left at time t . The radioactive nature of element is expressed in terms of average life numerically equal to decay constant (1//lambda) however all the radioactive do not lose their radioactive nature in thier average life. The radioactive emission involves alpha, beta particles as well as gamma- rays.The penertrating power order is alpha lt beta lt gamma . The emissions can perntrate even thick steel walls but are however unable to penttrate Pb blocks. The S unit fo rate of decay is dps .
