What mass of C^(14) with t(1//2) = 5730 ...

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`-(dN)/(dt)=1 "curie"=3.7 xx 10^(10)` disintegrations per second
`lambda=(0.693)/(5730xx365 xx24 xx3600)`
`-(dN)/(dt)=lambda N " or " 3.7 xx10^(10)=(0.693)/(5730 xx365xx24xx3600)xxN`
Or `N=9.65xx10^(21)` atoms
Or amount of `.^(14)C=(14)/(6.023 xx10^(23)) xx9.65 xx10^(21)=0.2244g`

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