Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?

Chemistry

Wittaler [7]3 years ago

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>

The half life of oxygen is 2 minutes. What fraction of a sample of 0.15 will remain after 5 half lives?​
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.13%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Half life (t½) = 2 mins

Number of half-life (n) = 5

Fraction of sample remaining =.?

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining (N) after 5 half-life. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 1/2ⁿ × original amount (N₀)

NOTE: n is the number of half-life.

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 0.15

N = 1/32 × 0.15

N = 0.15/32

N = 4.69×10¯³

Therefore, 4.69×10¯³ is remaining after 5 half-life.

Finally, we shall the fraction of the sample remaining after 5 half-life as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Amount remaining (N) = 4.69×10¯³

Fraction remaining = N/N₀ × 100

Fraction remaining = 4.69×10¯³/0.15 × 100

Fraction remaining = 3.13%

Compared to the charge of a proton the charge of an electron has
mart [117]

Answer:

Compared to the charge of proton the charge of an electron is negative.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

A student wants to collect data during an experiment about the transfer of kinetic energy in a sample of water and ice. Which to
erastova [34]

Given what we know, the tool in question that will help the student collect data regarding the transfer of kinetic energy between water and ice would be a thermometer.

<h3>How does the thermometer measure kinetic energy?</h3>

It does not do so directly. However, kinetic energy in water molecules is reflected in the temperature of the water. When water molecules increase their kinetic energy and move more, they become hotter. Increased or decreased heat is an indirect way to measure the transfer of kinetic energy in water.

Therefore, given that the temperature of the water is a reflection of the transfer of kinetic energy happening, we can confirm that the tool that will help the student collect the data needed is a thermometer.
