Get started for freeA recent study concluded that any amount of radiation exposure can cause biological damage. Explain the differences between the two models of radiation damage, the linear model and the threshold model.
Consider the following reaction to produce methyl acetate: When this reaction is carried out with \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\) containing oxygen- \(18,\) the water produced does not contain oxygen-18. Explain.
A living plant contains approximately the same fraction of carbon-14 4 as in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Assuming that the observed rate of decay of carbon-14 4 from a living plant is 13.6 counts per minute per gram of carbon, how many counts per minute per gram of carbon will be measured from a \(15,000\) -year-old sample? Will radiocarbon dating work well for small samples of 10 \(\mathrm{mg}\) or less? (For \(^{14} \mathrm{C}, t_{1 / 2}=5730\) years.)
Uranium-235 undergoes many different fission reactions. For one such reaction, when \(^{235} \mathrm{U}\) is struck with a neutron, \(^{144}\mathrm{Ce}\) and \(^{90}\mathrm{Sr}\) are produced along with some neutrons and electrons. How many neutrons and \(\beta\) -particles are produced in this fission reaction?
In each of the following radioactive decay processes, supply the missing particle. a. \(^{73} \mathrm{Ga} \rightarrow^{73} \mathrm{Ge}+?\) b. \(^{192} \mathrm{Pt} \rightarrow^{188} \mathrm{Os}+?\) c. \(^{205} \mathrm{Bi} \rightarrow^{205} \mathrm{Pb}+?\) d. \(^{241} \mathrm{Cm}+? \rightarrow^{241} \mathrm{Am}\)
