Q.5.50 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Radiation from Tl-201 to Simone's kidneys can be 24 mGy. What is this amount of radiation in rads?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The amount of radiation in rads is $2.4$rads

Step 1: Given Information

Radiation from Tl-201 to Simone's kidneys = $24$mGy

Finding the amount of radiation in rads.

Step 2: Explanation

Given radiation = $24 \mathrm{mGy}$

Using,

$1 \mathrm{rad}=10 \mathrm{mGy}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1 \mathrm{rad}}{10 \mathrm{mGy}}\times 24 \mathrm{mGy}=2.4 \mathrm{rad}$

The amount of radiation in rads is $2.4$ rads
