2 - 1 curie is equal to how many bq s ( bequerels )?

answer is - 37 GBq.

In the International System of units (SI), the becquerel (Bq) is the unit of radioactivity. One Bq is 1 disintegration per second (dps). One curie is 37 billion Bq. Since the Bq represents such a small amount, you are likely to see a prefix used with Bq, as shown below:


1 MBq (27 microcuries)


1 GBq (27 millicuries)


37 GBq (1 curie)


1 TBq (27 curies)
