Explanation:

This problem seeks to ensure that the student comprehends the meaning of precision and accuracy.

These two key terms are used to express how reliable experimental values obtained are.

Precision is the ability to consistently reproduce a result.
Accuracy is the nearness of the measure value to the true value.
The different between the measured and true values gives the error in the result.

In the problem given, the most accurate reading would be one that has value close to the standard mass of 150g. Any student that reports this value would be reported as accurate.

The precise reading would be for the student that is able to repeatedly produce the same kind of values. This is irrespective of whether the values are close to the true value or not.

A freshly prepared sample of radioactive isotope has an activity of 10 mCi. After 4 hours, its activity is 8 mCi. Find: (a) the

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a). The decay constant is $1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is $2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Activity $R_{0}=10\ mCi$

Time $t_{1}=4\ hours$

Activity R= 8 mCi

(a). We need to calculate the decay constant

Using formula of activity

$R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{1}{t}ln(\dfrac{R_{0}}{R})$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{1}{4\times3600}ln(\dfrac{10}{8})$

$\lambda=0.0000154\ s^{-1}$

$\lambda=1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

We need to calculate the half life

Using formula of half life

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{1.55\times10^{-5}}$

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=44.719\times10^{3}\ s$

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=11.3\ hr$

(b). We need to calculate the value of N₀

Using formula of $N_{0}$

$N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{1.55\times10^{-5}}$

$N_{0}=2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). We need to calculate the sample's activity

Using formula of activity

$R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda\times t}$

Put the value intyo the formula

$R=10e^{-(1.55\times10^{-5}\times30\times3600)}$

$R=1.87\ mCi$

Hence, (a). The decay constant is $1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is $2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.
