If 12 g of sample is taken, and 6 g of a sample decays in 1 hr. The amount of sample showing decay in next hour is
Half-life is 1 hr and thus in each half-life, half of the sample decays.
If 100kg of a water sample contains 6 g of MgSO4. The degree of hardness of the water sample is
4×1023 tritium atoms are contained in a vessel. The half-life of decay of tritium nuclei is 12.3 y. Find (a) the activity of the sample, (b) the number of decays in the next 10 hours (c) the number of decays in the next 6.15 y.
