- Suppose you have a pure radioactive material with a half-life of T1/2. You begin with N0 undecayed nuclei of the material at t = 0. At t=12T1/2, how many of the nuclei have decayed? (a) 14N0 (b) 12N0(C) 34N0 (d) 0.707N0 (e) 0.293N0arrow_forwardA radioactive sample initially contains 2.40102 mol of a radioactive material whose half-life is 6.00 h. How many moles of the radioactive material remain after 6.00 h? After 12.0 h? After 36.0 h?arrow_forward(a) Neutron activation of sodium, which is 100% 23Na, produces 24Na, which is used in some heart scans, as seen in Table 32.1. The equation for the reaction is 23Na+n24Na+ . Find its energy output, given the mass of 24Na is 23.990962 u. (b) What mass at 24Na produces the needed 5.0mCi activity, given its halflife is 15.0 h?arrow_forward
