Interpretation:
The mass of P-32,S-33 and Fe-59 percent in the original solution has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive Law:
The radioactive lawstates that the probability per unit time that a nucleus will decay is a constant independent of time. This constant is called the decay constant and is denoted by
Where N is the number of radioactive nuclei remaining after time t
N0 is the number of radioactive nuclei in initial time.
k is the decay constant.
t is the time required to decay.
