The favorite nuclide used in positron emission tomography (PET scan) to follow glucose metabolism is fluorine-18, which decays by positron emission to oxygen-18 and has a half-life of 110 minutes. Fluorine-18 is administered in the form of fludeoxyglucose F-18; the product of this molecule's decay is glucose.

This experiment will use a technique known as neutron activation analysis (NAA) to determine the half-lives of two unusual isotopes, 28 Al and 20F. The only stable isotopes of these elements are 27 Al and 19F. Trace amounts of 26 Al and 18F occur naturally, but the isotopes we will generate today are even more unstable and have no significant natural abundance. To produce these very unstable isotopes in measurable concentration, samples containing Al and F are placed next to a source of energetic neutrons. A number of neutron sources can be used; in this lab the samples are placed inside an operating nuclear reactor that emits energetic neutrons. This source has the advantage of a high neutron output that creates the desired isotopes rapidly and at higher concentrations, but it is only feasible for researchers that have access to nuclear reactors. At Oregon State University, the campus TRIGA reactor is set up for NAA experiments. SECTION 2 Based on the description from the last…
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.)
Radioactive decays always follow first order. Calculate the rate constant (in s-1 unit) of decay of 24Na (t1/2 = 19.9 h). Use scientific notation.
