Solution) dN/dt = 650 decays per second
T(1/2) = 4.468×10^(9) yr
N = ?
We have
dN/dt = (Lambda)(N)
Lambda = (ln(2))/(T(1/2))
Converting time in years (yr) to seconds (s)
1 yr = 365 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
T(1/2) = 4.468×10^(9)×365×24×60×60
T(1/2) = 140902848×10^(9) s
T(1/2) = 1.409×10^(17) s
Lambda = (ln(2))/(T(1/2))
Lambda = (0.693)/(1.409×10^(17))
Lambda = 0.4918×10^(-17)
(dN/dt) = (Lambda)(N)
650 = (0.4918×10^(-17))(N)
N = (650)/(0.4918×10^(-17))
N = 1321.67×10^(17) nuclei
