0.269 g

Explanation:

$Po_{210} ^{84}$ ⟶ $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ + $+ He_{4} ^{2}$

Data:

Half-life of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ (T(1/2)) = 138.4 days

Mass of PoCl4 = 561 mg (0,561 g) and molecular weight of PoCl4 = 350. 79 g/mol

Time = 338.8 days

Isotopic masses

$Po_{210} ^{84}$ = 209.98 g/mol

$Pb_{206} ^{82}$ = 205.97 g/mol

Concepts

Avogadro’s number: This is the number of constituent particles that are contained in a mol of any substance. These constituted particles can be atoms, molecules or ions). Its value is 6.023*10^23.

The radioactive decay law is

N=Noe^(-λt)

Where:

No = number of atoms in t=0

N = number of atoms in t=t (now) in this case t=338.8 days

λ= radioactive decay constant

The radioactive constant is related to the half-life by the next equation

λ= $\frac{ln 2}{t(1/2)}$

λ= $\frac{ln2}{138.4 days}$ =0,005008 days^(-1)

No (Atoms of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ in t=0)

To get No we need to calculate the number of atoms of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ in the initial sample. We have a sample of 0,561 g of PoCl4. If we get the number of moles of PoCl4 in the sample, this will be the number of moles of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ in the initial sample.

This is:

$\frac{0,561 g of PoCl4}{350. 79 g of PoCl4 /mol}$ = 0,001599 mol of PoCl4

This is the number of mol of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ in the initial sample.

To get the number of atoms in the initial sample we use the Avogadro’s number = 6.023*10^23

0,001599 mol of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ * 6.023*10^23 atoms/ mol of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ = 9.632 *10^20 atoms of $Po_{210} ^{84}$

Atoms after 338.8 days

We use the radioactive decay law to get this value

N=Noe^(-λt)

N=9.632*10^20 e^(-0,005008 days^(-1) * 338.8 days) =1.765*10^20

This is the number of atoms of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ in the sample after 338.8 days has passed

The number of atoms $Po_{210} ^{84}$ transformed is equal to the number of atoms of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ produced.

The number of atoms of $Po_{210} ^{84}$ transformed is No - N

9.632 *10^20 – 1.765 *10^20 = 7.866*10^20

So, 7.866*10^20 is the number of atoms of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ produced

We can get the mass with the Avogadro’s number

(7.866*10^20 atoms of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ ) / ( 6.023*10^23 atoms of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ / mol of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ = 0.001306 moles of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$

This number of moles have a mass of:

(0,001306 moles of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ )* (205.97 g of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ /mol of $Pb_{206} ^{82}$ ) = 0.269 g
