Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

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. The percentage of the sample remaining is plotted on the y axis versus the time in days on the x axis. Some of the points included on the decay curve are 0 days 100 percent remaining, 5 days 95.41 percent remaining, 25 days 79.08 percent remaining, 35 days 71.99 percent remaining, 40 days 68.69 percent remaining, 45 days 65.54 percent remaining, 55 days 59.67 percent remaining, 65 days 54.32 precent remaining, 70 days 51.83 percent remaining, 75 days 49.45 percent remaining, 80 days 47.19 percent remaining, 85 days 45.02 percent remaining, 105 days 37.31 percent remaining, 115 days 33.97…
