virang ans given is 5.624 x 105 atoms.
The nucleidic ration,3H1 to 1H1 is 8.0 x 10-18:1.Tritium undergoes decay with the half life period of 12.3 yrs.How many tritium atoms would 10g of such a sample contain 40 yrs after original sample is collected ?

See
H3/H1 = 8.0*10-18
H1 = k
H3 = 8.0*10-18k
Therefore
k + 24*10-18k = 10
k ≈10
Therefore initial H3 = 80*10-18
k=0.693/12.3
kt = 2.303logAi/Af
t= 12.3/0.3010 (log80*10-18/A)
Finally there will be 8*10-18 atoms left
