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:

Explanation:

You just have to see the REACTANTS and PRODUCTS and look how much molecules are there and accordingly put numbers.

Eg:4Fe+3O2--------->2Fe2O3

What would happen to a diver who does no exhale while surfacing from a 30 m dive?

sertanlavr [38]

Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.

<u>Answer</u>: Solid Cu

Since this is a <u>voltaic cell</u>:

<u>Copper</u> is the cathode, therefore having a positive charge.

<u>Zinc</u> is the anode, therefore having a negative charge.

(Also, I took the exam and it's correct; good luck everyone!)
