Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 1.0 \ mg}[/tex]
Explanation:
Half-life = 73 hours
Disintegration period = 6 days 2 hours = (6*24) hours + 2 hours
= 144 hours + 2 hours
= 146 hours
No. of Half lives = Disintegration period / Half-life
No. of Half lives = 146 hours / 73 hours
No. of Half lives = 2
Hence, there are 2 half lives passed in 6 days 2 hours.
Amount of thallium-201 left after first half-life:
= 4.0 mg / 2
= 2.0 mg
Amount of thallium-201 left after second half-life:
= 2.0 mg / 2
= 1.0 mg
Hence, the amount of thallium-201 left after 6.0 days and 2 hours is 1.0 mg.
