(#22) Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope that is commonly used
for cancer radiation therapy. The cobalt-60 atom decays to the
stable nickel-60 atom, releasing a beta particle (electron) and
energy in the form of gamma rays:
If you captured the energy from the decay of a 1.19 g pellet of
isotopically pure cobalt-60, how long could you run a 60.0 W light
bulb? In hours
The relevant masses are as follows:
Gamma rays are massless.
60Co-PoNi + β + γ...

1) Cobalt – 60, with a half-life of 5 years, is used in cancer radiation treatments. If a hospital purchases a supply of 30.0 g, how much would be left after 15 years? ______________ 2)Iron-59 is used in medicine to diagnose blood circulation disorders. The half-life of iron-59 is 44.5 days. How much of a 2.000 mg sample will remain after 133.5 days? ______________ 3) The half-life of polonium-218 is 3.0 minutes. If you start with 20.0 g, how long...
1. Cobalt 60 is commonly used as a source in industrial radiography (nondestructive testing of steel products by imaging with gamma radiation). A typical Co source is 100 Curies. Given a half-life of 5.27 years: (a) Calculate the mass of Co needed for a 100 Ci source (Atomic mass = 59.9338 g/mole). (b) If the source is abandoned in a warehouse for 22 years, how many half-lives have elapsed? (c) How much activity remains?
Background (Part 1): We are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources. All of us are exposed to radiation every day, from natural sources such as minerals in the ground and cosmic radiation to man-made sources such as medical x-rays. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S. is 620 millirem. In this activity, you will use the interactive online dose calculator to estimate...
