Radioactive iodine (radiolodine) is given to patients with some forms of thyroid cancer in order to
destroy the cancer cells. 1311 has a half-life of 8 days. Women who have been treated with 1311 are
advised to not become pregnant for 180 days (approximately 6 months) to avoid the radioactive
contamination of a developing fetus.
If a woman has been given a dose of 10 mci (millicurie, a measurement of radiation), how much 1311
will still be in her system when she can safely become pregnant?
3.125% of the original isotope
22.5 x 10-6 mci
1.7 x 10-6 mci
There will be no iodine-131 left in her system after 180 days.

Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly executes a carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 k and 300 k, respectively. the heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kj. at the end of the isothermal expansion the volume is 0.4 m3. assume the ideal gas model for the air. determine the thermal efficiency, the volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in m3, and the work during the adiabatic expansion, in kj.
