Q17 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 1) · Chemistry
is known to undergo radioactive decay to form by emitting alpha and bet a particles. A rock initially contained of . If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of to in three half-lives is , then what is the value of ?
Correct answer: 1.2
Solution
After 3 half lives
So, no. of molecule of uranium decayed
So No. of particle produced
Hence, the correct answer is 1.2.
