78AE

The synthetic radbisotope technetium-99. which decays by beta emission. is the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine. The following data were collected on a sample of 99Tc:

Disintegrations        per Minute Time (h)

180                  0

130                    2.5

104                    5.0

77                    7.5

59                    10.0

46                    12.5

24                    17.5

Using these data, make an appropriate graph and curve fit to determine the half-life.
