Iodine that enters the body is stored in the thyroid gland from which it is released to control growth and metabolism. The thyroid can be imaged if iodine-131 is injected into the body. In larger doses, I-133 is also used as a means of treating cancer of the thyroid. I-131 has a half-life of 3.70 days and decays by emission. (a) Write an equation for the decay. (b) How long will it take for 95.0% of a dose of I-131 to decay?
What are the two principal differences between nuclear reactions and ordinary chemical changes?
Technetium-99 is prepared from 98Mo. Molybdenum-SS combines with a neutron to give molybdenum-99, an unstable isotope that emits a particle to yield an excited form of technetium-99, represented as 99Tc*. This excited nucleus relaxes to the ground state, represented as 99Tc, by emitting a ray. The ground state of 99Tc then emits a particle. Write the equations for each of these nuclear reactions.
Isotopes such as 26Al (half-life: 7.2105 years) are believed to have been present in our solar system as it Formed, but have since decayed and are now called extinct nuclides. (a) 26Al decays by + emission or electron capture. Write the equations for these two nuclear transformations. (b) The earth was formed about .4.7109 (4.7 billion) years ago. How old was the earth when 99.999999% of the 26Al originally present had decayed?
