Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the number of atoms disintegrating per minute in a mass of 0.001 g of radium, which is an alpha-emitter with a half-life of 1620 years, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the decay constant (λ) The decay constant (λ) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}} \] where \( t_{1/2} \) is the half-life of the substance. ...
