Answer:
k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1
1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s
Explanation:
From the information provided;
t1/2=Half life= 1.00 hour or 3600 seconds
Then;
t1/2= 0.693/k
Where k= rate constant
k= 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/3600
k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1
Since 1 mole of the nuclide contains 6.02×10^23 atoms
Rate of decay= rate constant × number of atoms
Rate of decay = 1.925×10^-4 s^-1 ×6.02×10^23 atoms
Rate of decay= 1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s
