The reaction can be considered to be a pseudo first order reaction with assumption that is constant. Due to this assumption, the relative error (in ) in the rate when this reaction is complete, is _________. [ and represent corresponding rate constants]
Answer: 4 to 4.25

Answer: 3
A sample initially contains only U-238 isotope of uranium. With time, some of the U-238 radioactively decays into Pb-206 while the rest of it remains undisintegrated. When the age of the sample is years, the ratio of mass of Pb-206 to that of U-238 in the sample is found to be 7. The value of is ____. [Given: Half-life of U-238 is years; ]
