Answer:
Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.
Explanation:
The differential equation for decay is
Integrating both sides
ln A= kt+c₁
[
]
The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,
.........(1)
Given that the has half life of 3.3 hours.
For half life putting this in equation (1)
[taking ln both sides,
]
⇒k= - 0.21
Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8
and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram
Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)
⇒ t≈7.66
Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.
