Chemical Kinetics A sample of radioactive Na1281 is injected into a patient as part of radio iodine treatment of a thyroid condition. If the sample has an activity of 10,000 disintegrations-min^-1 at 8AM (the time of injection), what is the activity at 2pm the same day. The half-life of iodine-128 is 25 minutes. You must show your work.

Uranium is radioactive and decays into lead. This process can be used to date rocks. A piece of zirconium was dated using this process and it was found that this rock contained 3.8x10-3 grams of uranium and 2.4x10-5 grams of lead. If the half-life of uranium is 4.41x109 years how old is the rock? Hint: moles U + moles Pb = moles U initially in the sample (Parent)

Archeologists continue to debate the arrival of the first humans in the Western Hemisphere. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from a cave in Chile was used to establish the earliest date of human habitation in South America as 8700 years ago. This procedure involves comparing the 14C present in a sample of charcoal to the 14C present in a living tree of the same age. What fraction of the 14C initially present remained in the charcoal after 8700 years? The half-life of 14C is 5730 years. (Write the answer as a number with a decimal.)
Be sure to answer all parts. A freshly isolated sample of 90Y was found to have an activity of 2.9 x 105 disintegrations per minute at 1:00 p.m. on December 3, 2006. At 2:15 p.m. on December 17, 2006, its activity was measured again and found to be 7.7 x 10° disintegrations per minute. Calculate the half-life of 90Y. Enter your answer in scientific notation. x 10 minutes
