Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Quantity of Sr-90 that will be present after 84 years has to be calculated if the initial quantity taken was 8.00 g and half-life of Sr-90 is 28 years.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive nuclides undergo disintegration by emission of radiation. All the radioactive nuclide do not undergo the decay at a same rate. Some decay rapidly and others decay very slowly. The nuclear stability can be quantitatively expressed by using the half-life.
The time required for half quantity of the radioactive substance to undergo decay is known as half-life. It is represented as
The equation that relates amount of decayed radioactive material, amount of undecayed radioactive material and the time elapsed can be given as,
(b)
Interpretation:
Time taken to reduce 80.0 mg sample of Sr-90 to 10.0 mg has to be calculated if the half-life of Sr-90 is 28 years.
