The natural radioisotope, radium-226 (226Rn), undergoes a radioactive decay where it emits an alpha particle to become radon-222 (222Rn) which has a half-life of 3.82 days. Will a sample of 222Rn be at less than one fifth (1/5) of its original strength after a period of 5 days? Explain.
Krypton-81m is used for lung ventilation studies. Its half-life is 13 ss. How long does it take the activity of this isotope to reach one-quarter of its original value?
Iodine-131 is used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease and has a half-life of 8.0 days. If a patient with thyroid disease consumes a sample of Na 131 I containing 10. μ g 131 I, how long will it take for the amount of 131 I to decrease to 1/100 of the original amount?
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.)
