To calculate the half-life (\( t_{1/2} \)) of Thorium-232 (\( ^{232}Th \)), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the number of Thorium atoms in 1 mg 1. Convert 1 mg to grams: \[ 1 \text{ mg} = 10^{-3} \text{ g} \] 2. Use Avogadro's number (\( N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms/mol} \)) to calculate the number of moles of Thorium: ...
