Q.

In the certain hypothetical radioactive decay process, species a decays into species B and species B decays into species C according to the reactions.  A2B+particles+energy; B3C +particles+energy.
The decay constant for the species A is  λ1=1s1  and that for the species B is  λ2=100s1. Initially 104 moles of species A are taken and species B reaches its maximum number at a time t0=2ln (10)s. Then value of the maximum number of moles of B is (e2303 = 10)

In the certain hypothetical radioactive decay process, species a decays into species B and species B decays into species C according to the reactions.  A→2B+particles+energy; B→3C +particles+energy.The decay constant for the species A is  λ1=1s−1  and that for the species B is  λ2=100s−1. Initially 104 moles of species A are taken and species B reaches its maximum number at a time t0=2ln (10)s. Then value of the maximum number of moles of B is (e2303 = 10)
