Answer:

the activity of thallium is 1.54 kBq .

Explanation:

given,

half life = 3.7 years

R₀ = 10  kBq                    

time = 10 years                    

[tex]R = R_0\times e^(\dfrac{-0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t)[/tex]

[tex]R = 10\times e^(\dfrac{-0.693}{3.7}\times 10)[/tex]

R = 10 × (0.153667)                      

R = 1.5367 ≈ 1.54 kBq                

hence, the activity of thallium is 1.54 kBq .
