    The weight of 1 curie \[{{\,}_{82}}P{{b}^{214}}({{t}_{1/2}}=26.8\,\min .)\] in grams is:

    A)  \[3.1\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]           

    B)  \[1.55\times {{10}^{-8}}\,g\]     

    C)  \[6.2\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]   

    D)  \[3.1\times {{10}^{-10}}g\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that, \[\frac{-dN}{dt}=\lambda .\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\times \omega }{M}\] Here,                     \[\frac{-dN}{dt}=1\,\text{curie}\]                                 \[=3.7\times {{10}^{10}}\,\text{dps}\]                 \[\lambda =\frac{0.693}{{{t}_{1/2}}}=\frac{0.693}{26.8\times 60}{{\sec }^{-1}}\] \[\omega =?,\,\text{M=214}\]                 Hence,  \[3.7\times {{10}^{10}}=\frac{0.693}{26.8\times 60}\times \frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\times \omega }{214}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[\omega =3.1\times {{10}^{-8}}\,g\]
