A freshly prepared sample of a radioactive isotope has an activity of 27.5 mCi. After 2.60 hours, the activity is 21.0 mCi. (a) Determine the half-life of the isotope. (h) (b) How many nuclei of the isotope were contained in the freshly prepared sample? (nuclei) (c) After how much time will the activity be 1.40 mCi? (h)
A freshly prepared sample of a certain radioactive isotope has an activity of 10.0 mCi. After 3.80 h, the activity is 8.30 mCi. (a) Find the decay constant and half-life of the isotope. (b) How many atoms of the isotope were contained in the freshly prepared sample? (c) What is the sample's activity 30 h after it is prepared?
In preparation for a PET scan, a 75 kg patient is injected with fludeoxyglucose, a special type of glucose containing radioactive Fluorine-18 (18F). The injected solution contains 2.6 mCi of 18F, which has a half life of 109.8 minutes. Each radioactive particle has a mean energy of 249.8 keV, 90% of which is absorbed by the patient’s body. (1 mCi= 3.7*107 Bq.) a) Draw a graph showing the activity of the solution as a function of time. Label the half...
A 50 mL vial containing 1 mg/mL of alteplase, a thrombolytic drug, used to treat acute myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) and other severe conditions caused by blood clotting by breaking up the blood clots that cause them, is added to a 100 mL bag of D5W and administered IV with a set delivering 10 drops/mL. How many drops per minute should be given to administer 25 mg of drug per hour?

Radioactive substances decay by first-order kinetics. How many days would be required for a sample containing phosphorus-32 to decrease to 38.45% of its initial activity? The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1.42e1 days.
The order is penicillin 50,000 units. The vial reads penicillin 500,000 units. Add 4.3 ml to yield 5 ml. How many ml do you give The order is ampicillin 0.4 mg/kg. The patient weighs 38.5 pounds. The bottle reads ampicillin 10 mg/ml. How many ml do you give? Phenytoin (Dilantin) 5 mg/kg is ordered for a 40-pound child. It is to be administered in three equal doses. The drug is available in an oral suspension containing 125 mg/ml. How many...
Technetium Dosage. Radioactive isotopes are often used for medical imaging. Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is a particularly popular isotope since it has a short half-life and is easy to make. Also, Tc-99m can be chemically bonded to a number of different compounds and cell types for imaging different parts of the body. Tc-99m has a half-life of 6.02 hours. It decays into Tc-99 by emitting a gamma ray of energy 140 keV. For this problem, assume that Tc-99m is present in the...
