Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear reactions are processes in which the fundamental characteristics of a nucleus changes. They change into a completely different nucleus. These processes occur naturally in an unstable nucleus. Bombarding an energetic particle can induce nuclear reactions. In this article, both the naturally occurring nuclear reactions are termed as radioactive decay and the induced nuclear reactions are further categorized as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Question

You have a 2.8 mol pure sample of an unknown material. After 4.7 h, you discover that 89% has decayed. Determine the half-life, decay constant, mean life,
determine what the decay rate is at 4.7 h.
