Chapter 19, Problem 19.2KSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The original mass of sample of 61Cu has to be determined from the given option.

Concept introduction:

  • Unstable nuclei emit radiation spontaneously to become stable nuclei by losing energy. This process of emission of radiation by unstable nuclei is known as radioactive decay.
  • Radioactive decay is in the first order kinetics. Rate of radioactive decay at a time t is,

lnNtN0=ktwhere,k=FirstorderrateconstantN0=number of radioactive nuclei at time zeroNt=number of radioactive nuclei at a time,t

  • Half-life of radioactive decay is the time required for a radioactive sample to decay to one half of the atomic nucleus.

t1/2=0.693k

Answer to Problem 19.2KSP

The correct answer is option (e) 8.78×104mg

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option

To find: The original mass of sample of 61Cu

The original mass of sample of 61Cu is 8.78×104mg

Original mass of 61Cu is calculated

Given,

Half-life=3.35hTime=24hMassofsampleafter24h=612.8mg

Half-life of a first order reaction is t1/2=0.693k

Hence,

The rate constant of the reaction is,

k=0.693t1/2=0.6933.35h=0.207h1

Suppose the number of radioactive nuclei at time zero is N0 and at a time t is Nt,

lnNtN0=kt

Radioactive nuclei at time zero and time t are the initial concentration and the final concentration.

So the equation can also be written as,

ln[A]t[A]0=kt

Therefore,

The original mass of sample of 61Cu is,

ln[A]t[A]0=ktln612.8mg[A]0=(0.207h1)(24h)ln612.8mg[A]0=(4.968)612.8mg[A]0=6.957×103[A]0=8.78×104mg

The original mass of sample of 61Cu is 8.78×104mg

Hence the correct option for the original mass of sample of 61Cu is option e.

Reasons for incorrect options:

Writes all original mass of sample of 61Cu given in the options except option e.

  1. a) 85.5mg
  2. b) 4.39×103mg
  3. c) 736mg
  4. d) 6.40×103mg

The original mass of sample of 61Cu is found as 8.78×104mg

So, this value of original mass of sample of 61Cu is not matching with any of the above given original mass of sample of 61Cu in remaining options.

Hence the incorrect options are a, b, c and d.

Conclusion

The correct option for original mass of sample of 61Cu is identified from the given options. The original mass of sample of 61Cu is determined by using the data’s given for the radioactive decay.
