Question
(II) Calculate the activity of a pure $9.7-\mu \mathrm{g}$ sample of 32 $\mathrm{P}$ $T_{\frac{1}{2}}=1.23 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{s} ) .$
Step 1
The decay constant is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{0.693}{T_{\frac{1}{2}}} \] where \( T_{\frac{1}{2}} \) is the half-life of the radioactive nuclei. Show more…
