ChemistryChemistry & Chemical ReactivityPhosphorus occurs in nature as a single isotope, phosphorus-31. Neutron irradiation of phosphorus-31 produces phosphorus-32, a β emitter with a half-life of 14.28 days. Assume you have a sample containing phosphorus-32 that has a rate of decay of 3.2 × 10 6 dpm. Draw a graph showing disintegrations per minute as a function of time during a period of 1 year.
