3. Cobalt-60 is a strong gamma emitter that has a half-life of 5.26 yr. The cobalt-60 in a
radiotherapy unit must be replaced when its radioactivity falls to 75% of the original sample. If
an original sample was purchased in June 2010, when will it be necessary to replace the cobalt-
60?

protons and neutrons if an aluminum-27 atom has a mass of 26.9815386 amu? How much
energy is required for 100.0 grams of aluminum-27? (The mass of an electron is given on the
inside back cover.)
