Reactivity and Decay
A banana in your lunch contains 380 mg of potassium, of which a small fraction is the radioactive isotope 40 19 K. Using the percentage of radioactive potassium to nonradioactive potassium in Appendix B, estimate the activity of this banana due to the radioactive 40 19 K. decays/s
A patient is given 0.055 mg of technetium-99 m, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 6.0 hours. Part A How long does it take for the radioactive isotope to decay to 2.3×10−3 mg ? (Assume no excretion of the nuclide from the body.) Express your answer using two significant figures
1. A patient is given 0.050 mg of technetium-99 m, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 6.0 hours. How long does it take for the radioactive isotope to decay to 4.2×10−3 mg ? (Assume no excretion of the nuclide from the body.) Express your answer using two significant figures.
231 A 60 mg sample of a radioactive isotope decays to 50 mg after 4.7 days. a) Determine the half-life. b) How long will it take for the amount of the isotope to decrease to 20 mg?
a rock is going to be analyzed for its radioactive isotope contents, x and y. X is the parent and Y is the daughter isotope. Assume that the half-life of the radioactive isotopes is 5,730 years. Based on this information, answer the following two questions How much of the parent X and how much of the daughter Y will be present after two half-lives?
A 100-mg sample of a radioactive isotope is obtained. After 33.5 minutes, only 3.10 mg remains. What is the half-life of the isotope? min
4. (5 points) There are three major naturally occurring isotopes of magnesium, Mg-24, Mg-25 and Mg-26. The masses and percent natural abundances for Mg-24 and Mg-25 are 23.985042 amu, 78.99%; 24.985837 amu, 10.00% respectively. What must be the mass and percent natural abundance of Mg-26?
A particular radioactive isotope decays from 190 milligrams (mg) to 152 mg in 15 days. Find the half life of the isotope. Hint: Find the rate first. The half life of the isotope is the half value of 190 mg then solve for x. Your answer is days.
