A 10-Ci "Sr radioisotope thermal electric generator washed up on a coastline and was recovered by local law enforcement. The source was then submitted to a federal nuclear laboratory where it was quickly dissolved and reconstituted in H20. To purify the "Sr for Y medical applications, the whole source was contacted with 100mL volume of excess SM CO?-. If the solubility product of SrCO3 is 9.3x 10-10 M-and assuming no changes in carbonate concentration or volume were observed, how manyCi of 90Sr were left in solution after filtration? How many grams of "SrCO3 were isolated?
