Answer:

450 Bq, 0.15325u

Explanation:

Half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A = (7200 Bq) (½)^(22 min / 5.50 min)

A = 450 Bq

Mass defect is the difference between the sum of the proton and neutron masses and the isotope mass.

The mass of a proton is 1.007276u, and the mass of a neutron is 1.008665u.

So the mass defect is:

(8 × 1.007276u + 10 × 1.008665u) − 17.99161u

0.15325u
