1 mole of an element emitting alpha particle in a vessel which store them . Half life of that element is 5 hr . How long would it take for 4.515×10^23 alpha particle to be stored in that vessel?
Answers
answer : 10 hrs
1 mole of alpha particles in given element = 6.023 × 10²³
half life of that element, T½ = 5 hrs
⇒ ln2/λ = 5 hrs
⇒λ = ln2/5
now using formula, t = 1/λ ln[a/(a - x)]
= 5/ln2 ln[6.023 × 10²³/(6.023 - 4.515) × 10²³ ]
= 5/ln2 ln(4/1)
= 5ln(4)/ln2
= 10 hrs
hence 10 hrs would take for 4.515 × 10²³ alpha particles to be stored in that vessel.
