To solve the problem of calculating the total number of disintegrations for a radioactive isotope in the twentieth hour, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - Initial activity \( A_0 = 2 \, \text{Ci} \) - Half-life \( t_{1/2} = 20 \, \text{h} \) - We need to find the total number of disintegrations in the 20th hour. ### Step 2: Convert Activity from Curie to Disintegrations per Second ...
