This is a simple question
We just have to convert the units of disintegration from PCi to Bq
Because 1Bq= 1 DPS (disintegration per second)
1 PCi = 0 037 bq
So
2.11pCi = 0 037×2.11
=0.07877 DPS
I hope this helps. If you have any query or want more detailed explanation, feel free to ask in the comments section below.
