Question

What is the activity of a 54.7 μCi sample of carbon-14 in becquerels?

Answer 1

To calculate the activity of carbon-14 in becquerels, we need a conversion factor to multiply to the value given above. Base on my research, I found that 1 Ci = 3.70x10^10 Bq. We convert as follows:

54.7 μCi = 54.7 x 10^-6 Ci ( 3.70x10^10 Bq / 1 Ci ) = 2.02 x 10^6 Bq

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
