Question:

(a) Neutron activation of sodium, which is 100% 23Na, produces 24Na, which is used in some heart scans, as seen in Table 32.1. The equation for the reaction is 23 Na+ n24 Na + y.

Find its energy output, given the mass of 24Na is 23.990962 u.

(b) What mass of 24Na produces the needed 5.0-mCi activity, given its half-life is 15.0 h?

Data from Table 32.1
