To find the activity of 1 gram of Radium (Ra) with an atomic mass number \( A = 226 \) and a half-life of \( 1622 \) years, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the decay constant (\( \lambda \)) The decay constant \( \lambda \) is related to the half-life (\( t_{1/2} \)) by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}} \] First, we need to convert the half-life from years to seconds. ...
