Here is what I have done so far. Part A. Converted half life (T 1/2) into seconds. = 1.234e6 s Found the decay constant (lambda) = ln(2)/1.234e6 = 5.617e-7 Found N0 (nuclei present at t=0) = R0/lamda = 2.386e12 Found N= A-Z = 32-15=17 Tried to plug into equation...

I can't seem to get this started in the right direction. Any help is appreciated. As part of a treatment program, a patient ingests a radioactive pharmaceutical containing P32,15, which emits beta rays with an of 1.50. The half-life of is 14.28 , and the initial activity of the medication...
