Iridium‑192 is one radioisotope used in brachytherapy, in which a radioactive source is placed inside a patient's body to treat cancer. Brachytherapy allows the use of a higher than normal dose to be placed near the tumor while lowering the risk of damage to healthy tissue. Iridium‑192 is often used in the head or breast. Use the radioactive decay curve of iridium‑192 to answer the three questions. If the initial sample is 9.00 g, what mass of the original iridium‑192 remains after 85 days? mass remaining: g Estimate the half‑life of the radioisotope. half-life: days How many days would it take for two‑thirds of the sample to decay? time: days
Plutonium-238 is used in spacecraft to provide heat to power generators. One of thesegenerators contained 765 g of plutonium-238 when it was manufactured. Given that thehalf-life of plutonium-238 is 87.7 years, calculate the mass of plutonium-238 remainingafter 350.0 years.

Assume the atomic mass ofV is 48.0 u. 48 decays's c. A chemist obtains a fresh sample of V and measures its radioactivity. She then determines that to do an experiment, the radioactivity cannot fall below 25%6 of the initial measured value. How long does she have to do the experiment? days
40. Tc-99 is often used as a radioactive tracer in several medical diagnostic procedures. It has radioactive half-life of 6 hours. Because of its short half-life, it does not stay in the patient's body for a long time, and thus is vey suitable for diagnostic, but not treatment, purposes. On July 20, 2020 at 6:00 AM, a patient is given 64.0 ug (micrograms) of Tc-99. Assume that no process (but for the radioactive decay) depletes the isotope from the patient's body. other a. How much of Tc-99 will remain in the patient's body after 24 hours (i.e., 6:00 AM July 21, 2020)? b. When (Date/Time) will there be about 1.0 microgram of the isotope left in the patient's body?
