The half life of a specific Tc-99m is 6 hours. How much of an 192 mg sample will have decayed after 30 hours? 186 mg 32 mg 6 mg 160 mg The answer is : 186 mg. Why?
After every half life (6hrs) number of radioactive nuclide decrease to its half value.
Number of nuclide is proportional to mass of radio active material. Let initially there were No active nuclides.
Concentration = Co/2n where n = number of half lives
= time /t50%
After 6 hours radi active nuclide becomes No/2
After 12 hours radio active nuclide becomes No/22
After 18 hours radio active nuclide becomes No/23
After 24 hours radio active nuclide becomes No/24
After 30 hours radio active nuclide becomes No/25
No =( 192×10-3/(atomic mass))Na where Na is Avogadro number.
N = No/ 32
Mass of sample left after 30 hours = 192÷32 = 6mg
Mass of sample decayed after 30 hours = 192-6 = 186mg

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...
Technetium Dosage. Radioactive isotopes are often used for medical imaging. Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is a particularly popular isotope since it has a short half-life and is easy to make. Also, Tc-99m can be chemically bonded to a number of different compounds and cell types for imaging different parts of the body. Tc-99m has a half-life of 6.02 hours. It decays into Tc-99 by emitting a gamma ray of energy 140 keV. For this problem, assume that Tc-99m is present in the...
