250 kBq is equivalent to how many µCi?

To convert from kilobecquerels (kBq) to microcuries (µCi), it is essential to understand the relationship between these units of radioactivity. One curie (Ci) is defined as 3.7 × 10^10 disintegrations per second, while one becquerel (Bq) is defined as one disintegration per second. Consequently, one microcurie (µCi) is equal to 3.7 × 10^4 Bq.

To perform the conversion from kBq to µCi, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert kilobecquerels to becquerels:

[

250 , \text{kBq} = 250 \times 10^3 , \text{Bq} = 250,000 , \text{Bq}

]

2. Convert becquerels to microcuries:

[

\text{To convert Bq to µCi, use the following conversion factor:}

]

[

\text{1 µCi = 3.7 × 10^4 Bq}

]

Therefore:
