Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To write the reactions for 32P and 35S decay and find the remaining percentage of isotopes after 100 days.
Introduction:
Both these two isotopes undergo beta emission decay. Beta particles are high energy electrons. One neutron is converted to a proton releasing a beta particle. Energy released in this nuclear reaction is stored in the beta particle. Thus, beta particle is highly energized. It is emitted as a high energy beta particle. As a result of this event, number of protons increase by one and the neutrons decreased by one inside the nucleus.

The decay of an isotope element follows a first-order reaction. Assuming that you start with 964 mg of the isotope element sample, after 39.4 hours of decay, you find that there is 275 mg of the sample remaining. What is the half-life time of this reaction?
Phosphorus-32, a radioisotope used in leukemia therapy, has a half-life of about 14 days. Approximately what percentage of a sample remains after eight weeks?
A 10.00 mg sample of technetium-93 (92.91024898 u) is used to heat 125.4 g of water from 23.4 degree C to 87.4 degree C. How many minutes will be required to heat the water if all of the energy generated from the decay is used to heat the water?
