What is the specific activity (in Bq/g) if 1.07 kg of an isotope emits 3.77X10⁷β⁻ particles per minute?

1 answer:

3 0

Specific activity is the activity per unit mass of a radionuclide and is a physical property of that radionuclide. Activity is a quantity (for which the SI unit is the becquerel) related to radioactivity, and is defined as the number of radioactive transformations per second that occur in a particular radionuclide.

How do you find the specific activity of an isotopes?

Activity = λN.
= (0.693/8 days) x (1/86,400 sec/day) x (3 x 1017 atoms)
= 3 x 1011 atoms/sec I-131.
= 3 x 1011 dps I-131.

<h3>What is the specific activity of Co 60?</h3>

The average specific activity of 60Co in continental aquatic sediments is in the region of 1 Bq. kg-1 dry weight (Eyrolle et al., 2008). Cobalt distribution in the abiotic compartments of continental aquatic systems is characterised by the strong affinity of the element for sediment.

Answer :

The oxidation state of oxygen (O) in $OF_2$ is, (+2)

The oxidation state of carbon (C) in $CO$ is, (+2)

The oxidation state of nitrogen (N) in $K_3N$ is, (-3)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

(a) The given compound is, $OF_2$

Let the oxidation state of 'O' be, 'x'

$x+2(-1)=0\\\\x-2=0\\\\x=+2$

The oxidation state of oxygen (O) in $OF_2$ is, (+2)

(b) The given compound is, $CO$

Let the oxidation state of 'C' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=0\\\\x-2=0\\\\x=+2$

The oxidation state of carbon (C) in $CO$ is, (+2)

(c) The given compound is, $K_3N$

Let the oxidation state of 'N' be, 'x'

$3(+1)+x=0\\\\3+x=0\\\\x=-3$

The oxidation state of nitrogen (N) in $K_3N$ is, (-3)
