comparing the radioactivity reaching various parts of the body. What fraction of the
sodium-24 nuclei would remain undecayed after 12.0 h? The half-life is 15.0h. If a sample
contains 6.0 g of 24Na, how many micrograms remain after 12.0 h?
b. Phosphorus-32 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 14.3 d (d = days). A biochemist
has a vial containing a compound of phosphorus-32. If the compound is used in an
