Radioactivity Decay :
it is a process in which a nucleus of unstable atom emit energy in form of radiations like alpha particle , beta particle etc .
Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics , so its rate , rate constant , amount o isotopes can be calculated using first order equations .
The first order equation for radioactive decay can be expressed as :
----------- equation (1)
Where : N = amount of radioisotope after time "t"
N₀ = Initial amount of radioisotope
k = decay constant and t = time
Following steps can be used to find time :
1) To find deacy constant :
Decay constant can be calculated using half life . Decay constant and half life can be related as :
---------equation (2)
Given : Half life of Strontium -90 = 28.8 years
Plugging value of in above formula (equation 2) :
Multiply both side by k
Dividing both side by 28.8 yrs
(ln 2 = 0.693 )
k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹
Step 2 : To find time :
Given : N₀ = 10.3 ppm N = 1.0 ppm k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹
Plugging these value in equation (1) as :
(ln 0.0971 = - 2.33 )
Dividing both side by - 0.0241 yrs⁻¹
t = 96.68 yrs
Hence the concentration of Strontium-90 will drop from 10.3 ppm to 1.0 ppm is 96.68 yrs
