If the nuclide has a half-life of eight days, what mass of the nuclide remains in the patient at 6:00 p.m. the next day? (assume

no excretion of the nuclide from the body.)

half life = 8.0 days = 8 * 24 = 192 hr

we know,

half life = 0.693 / K

192 hr = 0.693 / K

K = 3.609 * 10^-3 hr-1

time from 8.00 AM to next day 10.00 pM = 38 hr

Now,

ln (I0 / I) = K * t or

ln (1.6 / I) = 3.609 * 10^-3 * 38 or

I = 1.39 ug

mass of the nuclide remains in the patient = 1.39 ug

We know that half life = 0.693 / K  

                       Half life = 8.0 days (8 ×24)

                   192 hours = 0.693 / K

Consequently, 32 hours pass between 8 AM to 6 PM the following day.

Which nuclide has the longest and shortest half life time?

  • Bismuth-209 (209Bi), a radioisotope of bismuth, has the longest half-life of any radioisotope that undergoes -decay that is currently known (alpha decay). Currently, gold is the heaviest stable monoisotopic element, while lead-208 is the heaviest stable nucleus.
  • Fluorine (9F) has 18 known isotopes, with ages ranging from 13 to 18.
  • Fluorine is a monoisotopic and mononuclidic element since only fluorine-19 is stable and is present in nature in amounts greater than trace amounts.
  • Due to 209Bi's extraordinarily long half-life, it is still possible to treat it as if it were non-radioactive for practically all purposes. It poses a negligible radiation risk because its radioactivity is far lower than that of human flesh.
  • The longest half-life of any radionuclide to have been experimentally identified is that of tellurium-128 (128Te), whose half-life is projected to be 7.7 1024 years through double decay. However, 209Bi still holds the record for alpha decay (double beta decay).

Can anyone please explain this point with an example. I have presentation tomorrow.

Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

When work is done on an object, where does the energy used to do the work go?
borishaifa [10]
-- If the work is done to make the object move faster, then
the work done becomes kinetic energy of the object.

-- If work is done on the object but it doesn't move any faster,
then there must be friction holding it back.  In that case, the work
that's done just to keep the object moving becomes heat, in the
places where the friction acts on it.
