Natural potassium contains 40K, which has a half-life of 1.277×109 y. What mass of 40K in a person would have a decay rate of 4140 Bq? What is the fraction of 40K in natural potassium, given that the person has 140 g in his body? (These numbers are typical for a 70-kg adult.)

I am confused and need to see steps to understand (a) Natural potassium contains Ok, which has a half-life of 1.277 x 10 y. What mass (ing) of "' in a person would have a decay rate of 4120 Bq? (b) What is the fraction of in natural potassium, given the person has 139 g in his body?
If naturally occurring 40K is responsible for a dose equivalent of 0.16 mSv/y of background radiation, calculate the mass of 40K that must be inside the 59 kg body of a woman to produce this dose. Assume that each 40K decay emits a 1.30 MeV β, and that 40% of this energy is absorbed inside the body. The half life of 40K is 1.25 × 109 years.
The average banana contains 0.436 g of potassium, and 0.012% of naturally occurring potassium is 40K, which has a half-life of 1.248 × 10^9 years and an atomic mass of 39.964 u. What is the activity of a freshly picked bunch containing three bananas? The activity is the number of 40K decays that occur per unit time. Activity is commonly measured in units of Becquerel (Bq), which is defined as decays per second. Recall that the atomic mass unit u...
