The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decay events per second. The SI unit of activity is the becquerel (1 Bq = 1/s) . An older unit for activity is the curie (1 Ci = 3.70 1010/s) . What is the activity in Ci of a sample with an activity of 2.1
10 5 Bq of radiation?
A) 7.8 10 9 Ci
B) 5.7 Ci
C) 5.7 10 -12 Ci
D) 5.7 10 -6 Ci
E) 0.21 Ci
