60-Co beta decays with half- life of 5.27 years (1.66 x108 sec) into 60NI, which then promptly emits two gamma rays. These gamma rays are widely used in treating cancer. What is the mass (in gram) of a 10000-Ci cobalt source? (Given that one mole of 60-Co has a mass of 60 g) a. 0.00882 O b. 8.82 c. 0.882 d. 8820
