**Title: Dosage Calculation for Radioactive Sodium-24 Treatment****Problem Statement:**Radioactive sodium-24, administered as \(^{24}\text{NaCl}\), is used in the treatment of leukemia. If a patient must receive a dosage of 190 \( \mu \text{Ci/kg} \) and the isotope is available in a solution with a concentration of 4.0 \( \text{mCi/mL} \), what volume of solution is required for a patient weighing 70 kg?**Solution Process:**1. **Determine the Total Activity Required for the Patient:** - Patient weight = 70 kg - Required dosage = 190 \( \mu \text{Ci/kg} \) - Total activity needed = \( 70 \text{ kg} \times 190 \mu \text{Ci/kg} \)2. **Convert the Total Activity to mCi:** - Note: \(1 \text{ mCi} = 1000 \mu \text{Ci}\) - Convert the total activity required from \( \mu \text{Ci} \) to \( \text{mCi} \).3. **Calculate the Volume of Solution:** - Concentration of the solution = 4.0 \( \text{mCi/mL} \) - Use the formula: \[ \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Total Activity (mCi)}}{\text{Concentration (mCi/mL)}} \] - Calculate the volume of solution needed.**Additional Notes:**- Ensure all units are consistent during calculations.- Verify calculations to maintain treatment accuracy.**Interactive Features:**- **Check My Work**: An option to verify the correctness of the calculated answer.- **Hint**: Provides guidance on approaching the solution.- **Solution**: Shows the complete step-by-step solution to the problem.- **Guided Solution**: Offers detailed guidance and explanations for each step, ideal for learning purposes.**Note**: Understanding how to perform unit conversions and calculate dosages accurately is crucial in medical treatments involving radioactive materials.

De All chan 1. Why is the neutron to proton ratio so important? It determines the stability of the nucleus based on the shielding effect of the neutrons. The neutron to proton ratio describes a radioactive element's half-life. Scientists made up this concept because they wanted to create radiation. An atom's nucleus likes to have the same number of neutrons and protons, so knowing that ratio is important. 00:53:35 PREVIOUS 1 of 20 NEXT SAVE
