An isotope of gallium, 67Ga, has an atomic number of 31 and a half-life of 78 hours. Consider a small mass of 3.9 grams for 67Ga which is initially pure.
1) Initially, what is the half-life of the gallium?
T1/2o =
2) Initially, what is the initial decay constant of the Ga atom in the sample?
λo =
3) Initially, what is the decay rate of the gallium?
Ro =
4) What is the half-life of the gallium after 24 hours?
T1/21 =
5) Initially, what is the initial decay constant of the Ga atoms after 24 hours?
λ1 =
6) What is the decay rate of the gallium after 24 hours?
R1 =
1) Initial t1/2=78hrs
2)initial decay constant=0.693/t1/2
=0.693/78
=0.0089/hr or
32.04/sec
3)decay rate = decay constant*number of particles
=(0.0089*3.9*6.023*1023)/67
=3.12*1023particles per hr
Or 3.024*1016 Cu
4)Half life remains same after 24 hrs
5)Decay constant remains same after 24 hrs
6)decay rate= decay constant *no. of particles

Gallium 67 (67Ga) is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 3.26 days. It's used in nuclear medicine to locate inflammations and tumors. Accumulations of 67 Ga in a patient's tissue can be detected by looking for the gamma rays it emits when it decays. 3 days after 67Ga was administered to the patient, what fraction of the 67Ga nuclei remains?
1. a certain isotope has a half life of 24.3 minutes. what is the decay constant (in s^-1) of this isotope? 2. You are told that a room contains an isotope with a half-life of 1.5 hours. If you need to wait until the isotope has decayed to 15% of its initial activity before entering the room, how long (in hours) must you wait
The isotope 208^Tl undergoes β decay with a half-life of 3.1 min. (a) What isotope is produced by the decay? (b) How long will it take for 99.0% of a sample of pure 208Tl to decay? (c) What percentage of a sample of pure 208Tl remains un-decayed after 1.0 h?
Gallium 67 (67Ga) is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 3.26 days. It’s used in nuclear medicine to locate inflammations and tumors. Accumulations of 67Ga in a patient’s tissue can be detected by looking for the gamma rays it emits when it decays. A radiologist usually begins looking for the 67Ga about 52 hours after administering it to a patient. What fraction of the original 67Ga nuclei remains after 52 hours? **Please solve using half life equation formula, you...

The isotope 176Lu undergoes β- decay to 176Hf with a long half-life. From a plot of 176Hf/177Hf (y-axis) versus 176Lu/177Hf (x-axis) for a suite of cogenetic (=related) meteorites, Patchett & Tatsumoto (1980) obtained a 10-point isochrons with a slope of 0.0934 and an initial 176Hf/177Hf ratio of 0.27973. The age of the meteorites is known to be 4550 Ma from independent Pb-Pb dating. Calculate the decay constant (λ) and half-life (t1/2) of 176Lu decay

The half-life of 82 35Br is 1.471 days. This isotope decays by the emission of a beta particle. a Gaseous HBr is made with Br-82. When the bromine isotope decays, the HBr produces H2 and the bromine decay product. Write a balanced equation for the decay of Br-82.
