A radioisotope `._(Z)A^(m) (t_(1//2) = 10` days) decays to give `._(z - 6)B^(m - 12)` stable atom along with `alpha`-particles. If `m g` of A are taken and kept in a sealed tube, how much He will accumulate in 20 days at `STP`.

To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Decay Process The radioisotope A decays to form a stable atom B and produces alpha particles. Given that the mass number of A is m and it decays to form B with a mass number of \( m - 12 \), we can conclude that three alpha particles (each with a mass number of 4) are produced in the decay process. ### Step 2: Determine the Half-Life and Time Period The half-life of the isotope A is given as 10 days. We need to find out how much helium will accumulate after 20 days. ...
