QJEEM22Ch0cc3: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM22Ch0cc3 Solution: Assuming 1 μ g of trace radioactive element X with a half life…

Assuming 1μg of trace radioactive element X with a half life of 30 years is absorbed by a growing tree. The amount of X remaining in the tree after 100 years is ______ ×10−1μg.

[Given : ln 10 = 2.303; log 2 = 0.30]

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

t=1λln⁡(aa−x)

⇒100=(30ln⁡2)[ln⁡(1w)]⇒[100×log⁡230]=log⁡(1w)⇒1=log⁡(1w)⇒1w=10 So w=0.1μg
