Be sure to include proper units for activity! QUESTIONS (cont. on next page) 1. Calculate the "true" activity of potassium-40 in your sample of potassium chloride. Your answer should be consistent with the precision of the data used in the calculations. \[ R(+r u e)=R(24)-2(15)=9.3 \times 1108 \] 2. Calculate the number of radioactive potassium-40 nuclei present in the sample of potassium chloride.
3. Using the values obtained from \( \# 1 \) and #2, calculate the decay constant and half-life for potassium \( -40 \).
Mass of KCl and beaker =23.691 g Mass of beaker = 22.693 g Mass of KCl= 1.011 g Molar mass of KCl = 74.56 g/mole No. of moles of KCl = Mass of KCl/Molar
