Detailed Solution

Ra - isotope α-emission He gas

We know that α-particles are double positively charged Helium nuclei.α-rays change to Helium gas.

Volume of He gas = 1.12×10-2 ml at STP

22400cc of the He at STP contain 6.023×1023 He-atoms

1.12×10-2 cc of He at STP contain 'X' atoms

\large X = \frac{1.12 \times 10^{-2}\times6.023\times10^{23}}{22400} = 3 \times 10^{17}

 

 

 

Number of α-particles emitted = 3×1017
