The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of nuclei that decay in one year for a sample with a half-life of \(10^{33}\) years and an initial number of nuclei of \(26 \times 10^{24}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Half-life \(T = 10^{33}\) years - Initial number of nuclei \(N_0 = 26 \times 10^{24}\) - Time period \(t = 1\) year 2. **Determine the Decay Constant (\(\lambda\)):** The decay constant \(\lambda\) is related to the half-life by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{\ln(2)}{T} \] Substituting the value of \(T\): \[ \lambda = \frac{\ln(2)}{10^{33}} \approx \frac{0.693}{10^{33}} \approx 6.93 \times 10^{-34} \text{ years}^{-1} \] 3. **Use the Decay Formula:** The number of nuclei decayed in a small time interval \(dt\) is given by: \[ -dN = \lambda N_0 dt \] For \(dt = 1\) year, we can substitute the values: \[ -dN = \lambda N_0 \cdot 1 \] Thus, \[ dN = \lambda N_0 \] 4. **Calculate the Number of Decayed Nuclei:** Substitute \(\lambda\) and \(N_0\): \[ dN = \left(6.93 \times 10^{-34}\right) \times \left(26 \times 10^{24}\right) \] \[ dN \approx 6.93 \times 26 \times 10^{-10} = 180.18 \times 10^{-10} \approx 1.8018 \times 10^{-8} \] 5. **Final Result:** The number of nuclei decayed in 1 year is approximately: \[ dN \approx 1.8 \times 10^{-8} \] ### Final Answer: The number of nuclei decayed in 1 year is approximately \(1.8 \times 10^{-8}\). ---
