This lecture focuses on a series of exercises related to radiochemistry, starting with the mass loss of radium 226 over time. The instructor explains the equations linking concentration, quantity of matter, and number of nuclei, leading to the calculation of mass lost over different periods. The lecture also covers the decay process of thorium, the dating of carbon 14, and the use of cobalt 60 in medical treatments.
