Question
(I) What is the activity of a sample of $\frac{14}{6} \mathrm{C}$ that contains $3.1 \times 10^{20}$ nuclei?
Step 1
The activity (A) is given by the formula: \[A = \frac{ln(2) \times N}{T}\] where: - \(ln(2)\) is the natural logarithm of 2, - \(N\) is the number of radioactive nuclei, - \(T\) is the half-life of the radioactive nuclei. Show more…
