JEE Chemistry Practice Question

${ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} \mathrm{~Pb}$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. A rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}$. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} \mathrm{U}$ to ${ }_{82}^{206} \mathrm{~Pb}$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$, then what is the value of $Z$ ?
