Question

The radioactive nucleus A and B have half lives t and 2t respectively. If we start an experiment with one mole of each of them, the mole ratio after time interval of 6t will be.

Open in App

Solution

$N = {(\frac{1}{2})}^{\frac{t}{t_{1 / 2}}}$

For A-

$N_{A} = {(\frac{1}{2})}^{\frac{6 t}{t}} = \frac{1}{64}$

For B-

$N_{B} = {(\frac{1}{2})}^{\frac{6 t}{2 t}} = \frac{1}{8}$

Hence,

$\frac{N_{A}}{N_{B}} = \frac{1}{8}$
