Chemical reaction
It is not possible
Activities of three radioactive substances $A , B$ and $C$ are represented by the curves $A, B$ and $C,$ in the figure. Then their half-lives $T _{\frac{1}{2}}( A ): T _{\frac{1}{2}}( B ): T _{\frac{1}{2}}( C )$ are in the ratio
A parent nucleus $X$ is decaying into daughter nucleus $Y$ which in turn decays to $Z$. The half lives of $X$ and $Y$ are $40000 \,yr$ and $20 \,yr$, respectively. In a certain sample, it is found that the number of $Y$ nuclei hardly changes with time. If the number of $X$ nuclei in the sample is $4 \times 10^{20}$, the number of $Y$ nuclei present in it is
The half-life period of a radio-active element $X$ is same as the mean life time of another radio-active element $Y$ Initially they have the same number of atoms. Then
Starting with a sample of pure ${}^{66}Cu$, $7/8$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15\ minutes$ . The it decays into $Zn$ in $15\ minutes$ . The corresponding half-life is ................ $minutes$
At time $t=0$ some radioactive gas is injected into a sealed vessel. At time $T$ some more of the gas is injected into the vessel. Which one of the following graphs best represents the logarithm of the activity $A$ of the gas with time $t$ ?
