Radon (Rn) is the heaviest, and only radioactive, member of Group 8A(18) (noble gases). It is a product of the disintegration of heavier radioactive nuclei found in minute concentrations in many common rocks used for building and construction.

If 1.0_1015 atoms of radium (Ra) produce an average of 1.373_104 atoms of Rn per second, how many liters of Rn, measured at STP, are produced per day by 1.0 g of Ra?
