A device used in radiation therapy for cancer contains 4.70×10-1 g of cobalt 2760Co (59.9333819 u). The half-life of 2760Co is 5.57 yr. Determine the activity of the radioactive material.
A device used in radiation therapy for cancer contains 0.17 g of cobalt-60 (59.933 819 u). The half-life of this isotope is 5.27 yr. Determine the activity (in Bq) of the radioactive material.
A device used in radiation therapy for cancer contains 0.25 g of cobalt-60 (59.933 819 u). The half-life of this isotope is 5.27 yr. Determine the activity (in Bq) of the radioactive material. Provide units please
(#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 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?
