Answer: The mass of an object can be calculated in a number of different ways: mass=density×volume (m=ρV). Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume, so the mass of an object can be determined by multiplying density by volume. mass=force÷acceleration (m=F/a).
Answer:
A = 0.325 Bq
Explanation:
given,
half life of ¹⁴C = 5730 years
fixed fraction 1.30 × 10⁻¹² of ¹²C
half life = 5730 years
T_{1/2} = 5730 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60
= 1.807 x 10¹¹ s
radioactive decay constant
λ =
λ =
λ = 3.835 x 10⁻¹² /s
number of atom
mass m = 1.30 g
n = 6.524 x 10²²
Number of ¹⁴C atoms in 1.3 g of sample N ' =
= 1.30 × 10⁻¹² x 6.524 x 10²²
= 8.482 x 10¹⁰
Required activity, A = λ N
A = 3.835 x 10⁻¹² x 8.482 x 10¹⁰
A = 0.325 Bq
The Answer is= 7.8 x 10^4
