Technetium-99 (half-life = 6.0 h) is used in medical imaging. How many half-lives would go by in 22 h?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here, for the 22 hours

half life, T = 6 hour

Now, for the number of half lives

number of half lives = 22/6

number of half lives = 3.67

the number of half lives going by would be 3.67

Many transuranium elements, such as plutonium-232, have very short half-lives. (For 232Pu, the half-life is 36 minutes.) However, some, like protactinium-231 (half-life 5 3.34 3 104 years), have relatively long half-lives. calculate the change in energy when 1 mole of 232Pu nuclei and 1 mole of 231Pa nuclei are each formed from their respective number of protons and neutrons.
