Chapter 19 – Nuclear ChemistryExample – Half-Life 19.1 Technetium-99m is used to form pictures of internal organs in the body; Particularly to assess heart damage. The rate constant, k, for Tc-99m is 1.16 x 10-1 hr-1, what is the half-life?
Chapter 19 – Nuclear ChemistryExample – Half-Life 19.2 The half-life of molybdenum-99 is 67.0 hours. How much of a 1.000 mg sample of Mo-99 is left after 335 hours?
Chapter 19 – Nuclear ChemistryExample – Half-Life 19.3 Sodium-24 decays by positron emission, has a half-life of 60 hours, and an atomic mass of 23.9909633 amu. Suppose that a patient is injected with 80. mg of sodium-24 to measure their sodium electrolyte balance. • How much remains after 75 hours? • How many positron emissions occur in 75 hours? • What dose of radiation (in Ci) is the person exposed to?
Chapter 19 – Nuclear ChemistryExample – Radioactive Dating 19.4 The remnants of an ancient fire in a cave in Africa showed a carbon-14 decay rate of 3.1 counts per minutes per gram of carbon. Assuming that the decay rate of carbon-14 in freshly cut wood is 13.6 counts per minutes per gram of carbon, calculate the age of the remnants (t1/2 C-14 is 5730 years).
Chapter 19 – Nuclear ChemistryExample – Radioactive Dating 19.5 A rock containing uranium-238 and lead-206 was examined to determine its approximate age. Analysis showed the ratio of lead-206 atoms to uranium-238 atoms to be 0.115. Assuming no lead was originally present, that all the lead-206 formed over the years has remained in the rock and that the number of nuclides in intermediate stages of decay between uranium-238 and lead-206 is negligible, calculate the age of the rock (t1/2 U-238 is 4.5 x 109 years).
