A patient requires a dose of 99m-Technetium of 10 MBecquerel contained within 2 mL of injection. The administration is scheduled for 3 pm. The radiopharmacist needs to elute the 99m-Technetium from the generator at 9 am that morning, to allow time for the 99m-Technetium to bind to the carrier in the kit used. The volume of eluate required for the kit is 5 mL. A 10% excess of the eluate is always produced. How much 99m-Technetium is required to be eluted at 9 am? Express your answer as MBequerel and MBecquerel /mL
