उत्तर

Given: N0 = 100, N = 100 - 65 = 35, t = 4.2 d

To find: t1/2

Formulae: 

  1. `lambda = 2.303/"t" log_10 ("N"_0/"N")`
  2. `"t"_(1//2) = 0.693/lambda`

Calculation: 

1. `lambda = 2.303/"t" log_10 ("N"_0/"N")`

`lambda = 2.303/4.2 log_10 (100/35)`

= 0.548 × 0.456 = 0.2499 d-1

2. `"t"_(1//2) = 0.693/lambda`

`= 0.693/0.2499 = 2.773  "d"`

Half-life of 111In sample is 2.773 d.
