Principles of Instrumental Analysis
- The streptomycin in 500 g of a broth was determined by addition of 1.25 mg of the pure antibiotic containing 14C. The specific activity of this preparation was found to be 240 cpm/mg for a 30-min count. From the mixture, 0.112 mg of purified streptomycin was isolated which produced 675 counts in 60.0 min. Calculate the concentration in parts per million streptomycin in the sample.arrow_forwardSince the radioactivity defined as 1 Ci for 1,00 grams of 226Ra released by 42He2+≡ a(equivalent) particles is 3.7 * 1010 Bq; Find the fragmentation rate constant, the half-time and the fragmentation rate after 999 years.arrow_forwardI'm having a really hard time with this problem.

- A 0.0100 g sample of a radioactive isotope with a half-life (to.s) of 1.3-10° yr decays at the rate of 2.9-10* disintegrations per minute (dpm). Calculate i) decay constant (1) (in unit min-1) ii) number of nuclei (N)| iii) molar mass (M) of the isotope.arrow_forwardThe half-life of a decaying radioactive isotope is the time it takes for half of the original mass of the isotope to decay. M (t) If the mass (in grams) of a particular radioactive sample is given by 20e-0.32t = where t is in years, what is the half-life of that isotope? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
