Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the number of disintegrations per second that corresponds to 1 curie of a radioactive substance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Curie**: The unit "Curie" (symbol: Ci) is a measure of radioactivity. It is defined based on the number of disintegrations that occur in a radioactive substance. 2. **Know the Value of 1 Curie**: According to the definition, 1 curie is equivalent to the amount of a radioactive substance that produces a specific number of disintegrations per second. 3. **Identify the Number of Disintegrations**: The standard value for 1 curie is given as: \[ 1 \text{ Curie} = 3.7 \times 10^{10} \text{ disintegrations per second} \] 4. **Fill in the Blank**: Therefore, the answer to the question is: \[ \text{Radioactive substance of 1 curie is the amount that can produce } 3.7 \times 10^{10} \text{ disintegrations per second.} \] ### Final Answer: Radioactive substance of 1 curie is the amount that can produce **3.7 x 10^10 disintegrations per second**. ---
