A radioactive isotope having t(1//2) =3 ...

A radioactive isotope having `t_(1//2)` =3 days was read after 12 days . If 3 g of the isotope is now left in the container, the initial weight of isotope was

A

12 g

B

24 g

C

36 g

D

48 g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`N=(N_(0))/(2^(n))" "`[n = no. of half lives]
or `N_(0)=Nxx2^(n)=3xx(2)^(4)=48 g`
