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 $\times$ 10^-2 ml at STP

22400cc of the He at STP contain 6.023 $\times$ 10²³He-atoms

1.12 $\times$ 10^-2cc of He at STP contain 'X' atoms

Number of α-particles emitted = 3 $\times$ 10¹⁷
