What is the number N0 of 99mTc atoms that must be present to have an activity of 15mCi?

Base on my research, within 2 hours you have a number of atoms which remain. 
N= N0*2^(-t/6.020 = N= N0*2^-0.33223= 07943 N0

So, the number of atoms that are being disintegrated is N0-N=N0*(1-0.79430)=0.2057 N0

It must be equal to 15 mCi = 15*3.7*10^7= 5.55*10^8 atoms 

N0= 5.55*10*8/0.2057  = 2.698*10^9 atoms

Therefore, 2.698*10^9 atoms is the number of N0

Ostrovityanka [42]

That's a molecule of the substance.  You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original  'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride".  That's SALT !  It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.

Evaluate tan45/tan45
SIZIF [17.4K]

I'm not sure I completely understand the expression you want evaluated.

It looks like a fraction with the same exact thing in both the numerator and the denominator. A fraction like that always boils down to ' 1 '.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Correct answer: Kinetic energy of rotation, kinetic energy of translation and potential energy

Explanation:

Before it began to rotate it possessed potential energy. After being released from the rest it starts to roll on the roof and get kinetic energy of rotation, kinetic energy of translation along with potential energy.

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?
aniked [119]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.
