Yttrium-90, Y90 , is a radioactive isotope used in the treatment of liver cancer. The half‑life of Y90 is 2.67 days. If a dose w

ith an activity of 192 μCi is given to a patient, how many days will it take for the activity of Y90 in the patient to reach 3.00 μCi?

It takes 16.02 days for the activity of Y90

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

No=192 μCi

Nt=3 μCi

t1/2=2.67 days

\tt 3=192(\dfrac{1}{2})^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}^6=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{T}{2.67}}\\\\6=\dfrac{T}{2.67}\\\\T=16.02~days

E What caused the little puddle of water to appear under the syringe tip? its for sciences ​
fredd [130]

LMBO, for science.

Answer:

<em>The increase in kinetic energy leads to leakage of water from the syringe. When the outside temperature is more than the liquid temperature, say the syringe is out in sunshine, then the liquid becomes slightly warmer.</em>

How many ml of 2.50 M NaOH solution are required to make a 525 mL of 0.150 M?
larisa [96]

Answer:

31.5 mL of a 2.50M NaOH solution

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is an unit of concentration defined as moles of solute (In this case, NaOH), per liter of solvent. That is:

Molarity = moles solute / Liter solvent

If you want to make 525mL (0.525L) of a 0.150M of NaOH, you need:

0.525L × (0.150mol / L) = <em>0.07875 moles of NaOH</em>

<em />

If you want to obtain these moles from a 2.50M NaOH solution:

0.07875mol NaOH × (1L / 2.50M) = 0.0315L = <em>31.5 mL of a 2.50M NaOH solution</em>
