Fluorine-18 (F-18) is a commonly used radionuclide for PET scans. The half-life of F-18 is 110 min. F-18 is used to label the glucose molecules to form the radiotracer called Fludeoxyglucose (FDG). Only consider the physical half-life. Initially, a 5 ml FDG solution was prepared at a concentration of 4 mCi/ml. After 220 min, the FDG solution was all administrated to a patient. Calculate the following questions. Show steps to earn full points. (1) The initial radioactivity of the solution Ao. (ii) The decay constant of F-18 2. (iii) The actual radioactivity that the patient received A.
