The decay results in a daughter nucleus that is also a solid. What is the approximate total mass measured after 90 minutes?
A. 0.00 kg
B. 0.15 kg
C. 0.60 kg
D. 1.20 kg
参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Explanation: For each half-life, half of the remaining nuclides in the sample decay to a different nuclide. In this situation, three half lives occur in the 90 minutes, so only one eighth of the original isotope remains. Because the daughter nuclides are also solid, however, they remain in the sample. The decay products of beta decay include the daughter nuclide, the beta particle (an electron), and an anti-neutrino. The mass of the electron and the anti-neutrino are negligible compared to the parent nuclide. Because the daughter nuclides contain the same number of nucleons as the parent nuclides, there is effectively no change in mass of the sample.
