A one-gram sample of radium $\stackrel{224}{88} \mathrm{Ra}$ (atomic mass $=224.020186 \mathrm{u}$ $T_{1 / 2}=3.66$ days contains $2.69 \times 10^{21}$ nuclei and undergoes $\alpha$ decay to produce radon $\stackrel{220}{86} \mathrm{Rn}$ (atomic mass $=220.011368 \mathrm{u}$ ). The atomic mass of an $\alpha$ particle is 4.002603 u. The latent heat of fusion for water is $33.5 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg}$ . With the energy released in 3.66 days, how many kilograms of ice could be melted at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
