Answer:
525 Bq
Explanation:
The decay rate is directly proportional to the amount of radioisotope, so we can use the half-life equation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
A is the final amount
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is the time,
T is the half life
A = (8400 Bq) (½)^(18.0 min / 4.50 min)
A = (8400 Bq) (½)^4
A = (8400 Bq) (1/16)
A = 525 Bq
