Conversion of mass of a radioactive substance into its activity and vice versa
Here, you can convert quantity of radioactive substance: given in activity (A) units into mass (m) units and vice versa. Dependent on the question, you should enter the following data:
- activity of the radioactive source (A) and select its unit,
- physical half-time (T1/2) and select the time unit,
- molecular mass (M) in atomic mass units [u] (or daltons [Da]) or mass number (A) / atomic mass of the isotope (if pure nuclide) or molecular mass (if chemical compound),
- mass of the substance and select the mass unit. It is also possible to specify the mass in moles.
You can complete only one side of the form (either A → m or m → A); just ignore the second one.
Assumption: there is one taging (radioactive) atom per one molecule the mass of which is given.
