a) half life t1/2 = 6 hr
t/t1/2 = n = 1
amount of reactanta remaining after n t1/2 = a/2^n
n= 1
= 80/2 = 40 mg
b) n= 2
= 80/2^2 = 20 mg
c) t = 18
t/t1/2 = n, 18/6 = 3
n = 3
= 80/2^3 = 10 mg
d) t = 24 hr
24/6 = 4
= 80/2^4 = 5 mg
9. Technetium-99m is an ideal radioisotope for scanning organs, because it has a half-life of 6.0...
Q#2: What is the half-life of technetium-99m in minutes? Hours? Technetium (chemical symbol Tc) is a silver-gray, radioactive metal. It occurs naturally in very small amounts in the earth's crust, but is primarily man- made. Technetium-99 is produced during nuclear reactor operation, and is a byproduct of nuclear weapons explosions. Technetium-99 can be found as a component of nuclear waste. Technetium-99m is a short-lived form of Tc-99 that is used as a medical diagnostic tool. As this isotope decays, it...
please help me with answers thanks Experiment 14 - Nuclear Chemistry iven 0.050 mg of technetium-99m, a radioactive isotope with a half. 5. A patient is given 0.050 mg of technetium-99m, a radioactive life of about 6.0 hours. How much technetium will remain after 24 hours hours? after 24 hours? After 48 6. A patient receives a 58-mg dose of 1-131 to obtain an image of her thyroid. If the nuclide has a half-life of 8 days, how long will...
