Radioactive disintegration is a first order reaction and its rate depends only upon the nature of nucleus and does not depend upon external factors like temperature and pressure. The rate of radioactive disintegration (Activity) is represented as
`-(dN)/(dt)=lambdaN` Where `lambda=` decay constant, N= number of nuclei at time t, `N_(0)` =intial no. of nuclei. The above equation after integration can be represented as
`lambda=(2.303)/(t)log((N_(0))/(N))`
Calculate the half-life period of a radioactive element which remains only `1//16` of its original amount in `4740` years:
a) 1185 years
b) 2370 years
c) `52.5` years
d) none of these

Rate of first order reaction depends upon

Show that half life period of a first order reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of reactants.

The enthalpy change for a reaction does not depend upon:

What is natural radioactivity? How does it vary with external parameters like temperature, pressure etc?
