How many alpha emissions would occur


Polonium-218 is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 3.0 minutes. If a sample contains 55 mg of Po-218 (atomic mass = 218.008965 amu), how many alpha emissions would occur in 25.0 minutes? If the polonium were ingested by a person, to what dose of radiation (in Ci) would the person be exposed?
