(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The radius (r) of a nucleus is directly proportional to the ( r3 ) of mass number (A) to be shown and the volume for U235 nucleus should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

• Half-life period: The time required to reduce half of its original value.
• This is denoted by: t1/2
• This term is popularly use in nuclear chemistry, to describe the stability & instability of atoms or radioactive decay.
• For determination of first order rate constant K in half –life period we use

K=0.693t1/2 Equation.

• The half-life in first order does not depend upon the initial concentration.

Formula:

The volume of a sphere is V=43πr3

Age calculation:

lnNtN0=-kt

Calculate the age and rate constant:

K=0.693t1/2
