A pure sample of 226Ra contains 2.0 1014 atoms of the isotope. If the half-life of 226Ra = 1.6 103 years, what is the decay rate of this sample? (1 Ci = 3.7 1010 decays/s)

Question 2

How much kinetic energy must a deuterium ion (charge 1.6 10-19 C) have to approach to within 10-14 m of another deuterium ion? (1 MeV = 1.6 10-13 J)

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
