Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The quantity remaining in 160 mg of technetium-99m after 6 hours of usage during diagnostic procedure should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Technetium-99m is used for diagnosing imaging procedures especially for myocardial perfusion which tells if the blood flow through the heart is good. It is considered as radioactive tracer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The quantity remaining in 160 mg of technetium-99m after 18 hours of usage during diagnostic procedure should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Technetium-99m is used for many diagnosing imaging procedures. It is mainly used to indicate how well the blood flows in the heart which is myocardial perfusion. This element is considered as radioactive tracer.
(c)
Interpretation:
The quantity remaining in 160 mg of technetium-99m after 24 hours of usage during diagnostic procedure should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Technetium-99m is used for many diagnosing imaging procedures. It is mainly used to indicate how well the blood flows in the heart which is myocardial perfusion. This element is considered as radioactive tracer.
(d)
Interpretation:
The quantity remaining in 160 mg of technetium-99m after 2 days of usage during diagnostic procedure should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Technetium-99m is used for many diagnosing imaging procedures. It is mainly used to indicate how well the blood flows in the heart which is myocardial perfusion. This element is considered as radioactive tracer.

- 239Pu is a nuclear waste byproduct with a half-life of 24,000 y. What fraction of the 239Pu present today will be present in 1000 y?arrow_forwardThe isotope S3890r one of the extremely hazardous species in the residues from nuclear power generation. The strontium in a 0.500-g sample diminishes to 0.393 g in 10.0 y. Calculate the half-life.arrow_forwardFluorine-18 is a radioactive isotope that decays by positron emission to form oxygen-18 with a half-life of 109.7 min. (A positron is a particle with the mass of an electron and a single unit of positive charge; the equation is F918O188+e+10 Physicians use 18F to study the brain by injecting a quantity of ?uoro-substituted glucose into the blood of a patient. The glucose accumulates in the regions where the brain is active and needs nourishment. (a) What is the rate constant for [lie decomposition of ?uorine-18? (b) If a sample of glucose containing radioactive fluorine-18 is injected into the blood, what percent of the radioactivity will remain after 5.59 h? (c) How long does it take for 99.99% of the 18F to decay?arrow_forward
