Radioactive Half-Life
12PRACTICE PROBLEM
Phosphorus-32 is a radiopharmaceutical drug used to treat cancer. A patient was administered 93.0 mg of P-32 which decays via beta decay and has a half-life of 14.3 days. Calculate the exposure (in Ci) for the first six hours of treatment assuming that none of the P-32 exited the patient's body.
