Answer

$ R= 4.9 \times 10^{13} Bq$

Work Step by Step

Solving the number of nucleus from mass of sample, $ N = \frac{M_{Sample} }{M_{Kr}} N_A$ $ N = [\frac{(20 \times 10^{-9} g)}{92 g/mol] }] (6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol)$ $ N = 1.30 \times 10^{14} $ From here we can find the activity (rate) of the decay $ R = \frac{N ln2}{T_{1/2}}$ $ R= \frac{(1.30 \times 10^{14})(0.693) }{1.84 s} $ $ R= 4.9 \times 10^{13} Bq$
