A radioactive nucleus X decays to a nucleus Y with a decay constant lambda_X=0.1s^-1, Y further decays to a stable nucleus Z with a decay constant lambda_Y=1//30s^-1 . Initially, there are only X nuclei and their number is N _0=10^20 . Set up the rate equations for the populations of X, Y and Z. The population of Y nucleus as a function of time is given by N_Y(t)={N _0lambda_X//(lambda_X-lambda_Y)}[exp(-lambda_Yt)-exp(-lambda_Xt)]. Find the time at which N_Y is maximum and determine the population X and Z at that instant.

The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order of a reaction. The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are : Zero order : [Al =-kt+ [A]_0 First order : log [A] = -(kt)/2.303 + log [A]_0 Second order : 1/([A])=kt+1/[A]_0 These equations can also be used to calculate the halt life periods of different reactions, which give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial concentration, i.e, at time t_(1//2), [A] = [A]_0//2 Answer the following (1 to 5) question : For a second order reaction, the correct plot of t_(1//2) vs. 1//[A]_0 is
