Radiation seed therapy is a common method for treating some prostate cancers and brain tumors. Palladium-103, which decays by electron capture and gamma ray emission with a half-life of 17.0 days, is one isotope used for this treatment. How much palladium-103 (102.91 g/mol) is needed to produce an initial radioactivity level of 1.30 mCi? Note: 1 Ci = 3.70 1010/s.
A) 0.0174 g
B) 0.0251 g
C) 0.0316 g
D) 0.0995 g
E) 0.0594 g
