Q.

Substance A has atomic mass number 16 and half-life of 1 day. Another substance B has atomic mass 1 number 32 and half-life of 12 day. If both A and B simultaneously start undergo radioactivity at the same time with initial mass 320 g each, how many total atoms of A and B combined would be left after 2 days.           [2023]

1 3.38×1024  
2 6.76×1024  
3 6.76×1023  
4 1.69×1024  

Ans.

(1)

(N0)A=32016=20 moles

(N0)B=32032=10 moles

NA=(N0)A(2)2/1=204=5

NB=(N0)B(2)2/5=1024=0.625

Total N=5.625

Number of atoms=5.625×6.023×1023=3.38×1024
