The half-life of radioisotope bromine -82 is 36 hours. The fraction which remains after one day is ______ ×10-2.
(Given antilog 0.2006 = 1.587) [2024]
(63)
For first order reaction,
k=2.303tlog10aoat
At half life time i.e 36 hrs:
k=2.30336log10aoao/2
k=2.30336log102 (i)
At after one day i.e 24 hrs:
k=2.30324log10aoa(t=24) (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)
2.30324log10aoa(t=24)=2.30336log102
log10aoa(t=24)=2436log102
log10aoa(t=24)=2436×0.301=0.20066
aoa(t=24)=antilog(0.2006)=1.587
a(t=24)ao=11.587=0.63=63×10-2
Thus the fraction which remains after one day is 63×10-2.
