The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. (a) Natural potassium contains 40K, which has a halflife of 1.277109y. What mass of 40K in a person would have a decay rate of 4140 Bq? (b) What is the fraction of 40K in natural potassium, given that the person has 140 g in his body? (These numbers are typical for a 70kg adult.)

(b) Calculate the total energy that will be released by the 238U decay, (c) If energy is worth 12.0 cents per kWh , what is the monetary value of the energy emitted?

Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. Unreasonable Results (a) Repeat Exercise 31.57 but include the 0.0055% natural abundance of 234U with its 2.45105y halflife. (b) What is unreasonable about this result?

The particles emitted in the decay of 3H (tritium) interact with matter to create light in a glow- in-the-dark exit sign. At the time of manufacture, such a sign contains 15.0 Ci of 3H. (a) What is the mass of the tritium? (b) What is its activity 5.00 y after manufacture?
Calculate the activity R , in curies of 1.00 g of 226Ra. (b) Explain 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.
(a) Neutron activation of sodium, which is 100% 23Na, produces 24Na, which is used in some heart scans, as seen in Table 32.1. The equation for the reaction is 23Na+n24Na+ . Find its energy output, given the mass of 24Na is 23.990962 u. (b) What mass at 24Na produces the needed 5.0mCi activity, given its halflife is 15.0 h?
2H is a loosely hound isotope of hydrogen. Called deuterium or heavy hydrogen, it is stable but relatively rareit is 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuterium has Z = N, which should tend to make it more tightly bound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 2H and compare it with the approximate value obtained from line graph in Figure 31.27.
The purpose of producing 99Mo (usually by neutron activation of natural molybdenum, as in the preceding problem) is to produce 99mTc. Using the rules, verily that the decay of 99Mo produces 99mTc. (Most 99mTc nuclei produced in this decay are left in a metastable excited state denoted 99mTc.)

(d) Discuss the amount of this type of energy in a swimming pool as compared to that in, say, a gallon of gasoline, also taking into consideration that water is far more abundant.

Unreasonable Results The relatively scarce naturally occurring calcium isotope 48Ca has a halflife at about 21016y. (a) A small sample of this isotope is labeled as having an activity of 1.0 Ci. What is the mass of the 48Ca in the sample? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What assumption is responsible?
Integrated Concepts (a) Estimate the years 1hat1he deuterium fuel in the oceans could supply the energy' needs of the world. Assume world energy consumption to be ten times that of the United States which is 81019J/y and the deuterium in the oceans could be converted to energy with an efficiency of 32%. You must estimate or look up the amount of water in the oceans and take the deuterium content to be 0.015% of natural hydrogen to find the mass of deuterium available. Note that approximate energy yield at deuterium is 3.371014J/kg. (b) Comment on how much time this is by any human measure. (It is not an unreasonable result, only an impressive one.)
