A radioisotope of iodine, 131I, is used to study thyroid function. A patient is given a sample that is 1.7 Ã 10â4 M 131I. If the half-life is 8.04 days, what fraction of the radioactivity remains after 26.0 days? Radioactive decay is a first-order process.

The synthetic radioisotope technetium-99, which decays by
beta emission, is the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine. The following data were collected on a sample of ⁹⁹Tc:

Using these data, make an appropriate graph and curve fit to determine the half-life.
