Chapter 10.2, Problem 10.2PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The balanced nuclear reaction should be written for the beta emission of iodine-131.
Concept Introduction:
A reaction in which a nucleus of an atom or two nuclei and a subatomic particle collide to form one or more nuclide which is different from the starting nuclide is known as nuclear reaction. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

As a result of measuring beta particles emitted from P-32 for 2 minutes with a GM counter(Geiger), it was 72,960 counts. If a P-32 standard source having the same shape as this source and having a radioactivity of 2 kBq was measured for 10 minutes under the same conditions as before and 320,000 counts were obtained, what is the radioactivity of the first P-32? (required for solution course)
