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.
उत्तर
Given:-
Half-life of radium, T1/2 = 1602 years
Atomic weight of radium = 226 g/mole
Atomic weight of chlorine = 35.5 g/mole
Now,
1 mole of RaCl2 = 226 + 71 = 297 g
297 g = 1 mole of RaCl2
`0.1 "g" = 1/297 xx 0.1` mole of `"RaCl"_2`
Total number of atoms in 0.1 g of `"RaCl"_2` , N
`= (0.1 xx 6.023 xx 10^23)/297 = 0.02027 xx 10^22`
∴ No of atoms, `N = 0.02027 xx 10^22`
Disintegration constant , `lambda = 0.693/T_(1"/"2)`
`= 0.693/(1602 xx 365 xx 24 xx 3600)`
`= 1.371 xx 10^-11`
Activity of radioactive sample , A = `lambdaN`
`= 1.371 xx 10^-11 xx 2.027 xx 10^20`
`= 2.8 xx 10^9` disintegrations/second

For the past some time, Aarti had been observing some erratic body movement, unsteadiness and lack of coordination in the activities of her sister Radha, who also used to complain of severe headache occasionally. Aarti suggested to her parents to get a medical check-up of Radha. The doctor thoroughly examined Radha and diagnosed that she has a brain tumour.
(a) What, according to you, are the values displayed by Aarti?
(b) How can radioisotopes help a doctor to diagnose brain tumour?

Natural water contains a small amount of tritium (`""_1^3H`). This isotope beta-decays with a half-life of 12.5 years. A mountaineer while climbing towards a difficult peak finds debris of some earlier unsuccessful attempt. Among other things he finds a sealed bottled of whisky. On returning, he analyses the whisky and finds that it contains only 1.5 per cent of the `""_1^3H` radioactivity as compared to a recently purchased bottle marked '8 years old'. Estimate the time of that unsuccessful attempt.
A human body excretes (removes by waste discharge, sweating, etc.) certain materials by a law similar to radioactivity. If technetium is injected in some form in a human body, the body excretes half the amount in 24 hours. A patient is given an injection containing 99Tc. This isotope is radioactive with a half-life of 6 hours. The activity from the body just after the injection is 6 μCi. How much time will elapse before the activity falls to 3 μCi?
