Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?

4 0

The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops.

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>

(a) 4.64 x 1024 atoms Bi into grams

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1610.7 g is the weigh for 4.64×10²⁴ atoms of Bi

Explanation:

Let's do the required conversions:

1 mol of atoms has 6.02×10²³ atoms

Bi → 1 mol of bismuth weighs 208.98 grams

Let's do the rules of three:

6.02×10²³ atoms are the amount of 1 mol of Bi

4.64×10²⁴ atoms are contained in (4.64×10²⁴ . 1) /6.02×10²³ = 7.71 moles
