Consider a pure sample of a radioactive isotope with a mass number of 46. If the sample has mass of 25.0 micrograms and the isotope has a half-life of 8.50x106 years, determine the decay rate for the sample. Give your answer in decays/secondand with 3 significant figures. Please show your work! I would like to understand the process.
Thank you!

As we know
T0.5 = 0.693 / lemda
and
R = (lemda) N
where
T0.5 = half life
lemda = disintegration const.
R = decay rate
N = total no. of nuclei in the sample
