Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. (a) Calculate the activity R in curies at 1.00 g of 226Ra. (b) Discuss why your answer is not exactly 1.00 Ci, given that the curie was originally supposed to be exactly the activity of a gram of radium.
Calculate the energy output in each of the fusion reactions in the protonproton cycle, and verify the values given in the above summary.
Large amounts of 65Zn are produced in copper exposed to accelerator beams. While machining contaminated copper, a physicist ingests 50.0 Ci of 65Zn. Each 65Zn decay emits an average ray energy of 0.550 MeV, 40.0% of which is absorbed in the scientist’s 75.0kg body. What dose in mSv is caused by this in one day?
Tritium is naturally rare, but can be produced by the reaction n+2H3H+. How much energy in MeV is released in this neutron capture?
(a) Background radiation due to 226Ra averages only 0.01 mSv/y, but it can range upward depending on where a 226Ra in the 80.0kg body of a man who receives a dose of 2.50mSv/y from it, noting that each 226Ra decay emits a 4.80MeV particle. You may person lives. Find the mass of neglect dose due to daughters and assume a constant amount, evenly distributed due to balanced ingestion and handily elimination. (b) Is it surprising that such a small mass could cause a measurable radiation dose? Explain.
The annual radiation dose from 14C in our bodies is 0.01 mSv/y. Each 14C decay emits a averaging 0.0750 MeV. Taking the fraction of 14C to be 1.31012N of normal 12C, and assuming the body is 13% carbon, estimate the fraction of the decay energy absorbed. (The rest escapes, exposing those close to you.)
Explain why the fission of heavy nuclei releases energy. Similarly, why is it that energy input is required to fission light nuclei?
In the following eight problems, write the complete decay equation for the given nuclide in the complete XZAN notation. Refer to the periodic table for values of Z. decay of 40K, a naturally occurring rare isotope of potassium responsible for some of our exposure to background radiation.
Naturally occurring 40K is listed as responsible for 16 mrem/y of background radiation. Calculate the mass of 40K that must be inside the 55kg body of a woman to produce this dose. Each 40K decay emits a 1.32MeV , and 50% of the energy is absorbed inside the body.
Confirm that each at the reactions listed for plutonium breeding just following Example 32.4 conserves the total number of nucleons, the total charge, and electron family number.
Show that the total energy released in the proton—proton cycle is 26.7 MeV, considering the overall effect in 1H+1H2H+e++ve,1H+2H3He+, and 3H+3He4He+1H+1H and being certain to include the annihilation energy.
Verify by listing the number of nucleons, total charge, and electron family number before and after the cycle that these quanti?es are conserved in the overall proton—proton cycle in 2e+41H4He+2ve+6.
