Q. The half-life of ²²⁶Ra is 1602 y. Calculate the activity of 0.1 g of RaCl₂ in which all the radium is in the form of ²²⁶Ra. Taken atomic weight of Ra to be 226 g mol⁻¹ and that of Cl to be 35.5 g mol⁻¹.

Q. The curie was originally intended to be the activity of one gram of radium-226,

[T_{50} = 1620 a

. Calculate actual weight of radium which is equivalent to one curie.
given

1 a = 3.1536 \times 10^{7} s

- \frac{d N}{d t} = - λ N = - λ \frac{w}{A} N_{0}

Thus, w (mass of the radioactive substance) can be calculated.
