I need some help figuring this one out and how to do it.
Answer: b. 5.8*10^11 x*s-1
rate constant(k) = 0.693/t1/2
t1/2 = half life time = 18.7 days
k = 0.693/(18.7*24*60*60) = 4.29*10^-7 s-1
no of mol of 227Th sample taken = 510*10^-6 / 227.0277 = 2.25*10^-6 mol
no of particles of 227Th sample taken = (2.25*10^-6)*(6.023*10^23)
= 1.355*10^18 particles
from equation , 1 mol 227Th = 1 mol alpha(x) particle
no of alpha particles of produced = 1.355*10^18 particles
rate = k*no of particles
= 4.29*10^-7*1.355*10^18
= 5.8*10^11 x*s-1
