b.) Determine the rate of change (μCi/hr) ofthe quantity of iodine-123 at 12 hr.
c.) Determine the rate of change (μCi/hr) ofthe quantity of iodine-123 at 1 day.
d.) Determine the rate of change (μCi/hr) ofthe quantity of iodine-123 at 3 days.
e.) MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION: What do your answers sayabout the rate at which iodine decreases as timeincreases?
i.The rate at which iodine decreases is decreasing as timeincreases.
ii. Therate at which iodine decreases increases as timeincreases.
iii. Therate at which iodine decreases stays constant as timeincreases.
lodine-123 is a radioactive isotope used in medicine to test the function of the thyroid gland. Its half-life is 13.1 hours. A 475-microcurie (μCi) dose of iodine-123 is administered to a patient. The quantity, Q, left in the body after t hours is given by the equation Q = 475 5(1) 2 13.1 . Answer parts (a) through (d).
