Alpha particles produced by radioactive decay eventually pick up electrons from their surroundings to form helium atoms. Calculate the volume (in mL) of He collected at STP when 1.00 g of pure 226Ra is stored in a closed container for 125 years. (Assume that there are five α particles generated per 226Ra as it decays to 206Pb.)
