lodine 131 is a radioactive form of iodine. After the crisis at a Japanese nuclear power plant in March 2011, elevated levels of this substance were detected thousands of miles away from Japan. Iodine. 131 has a half-life of days. What is the daily decay factor for this substance? (Round your answer to two decimal places)
lodine 131 is a radioactive form of iodine. After the crisis at a Japanese nuclear power plant in March 2011
lodine 131 has a half life of 8 days and decays by a first order process (as is always the case for radioactive decay). How much of a 46 gram sample of iodine 131 will remain after 8 days? Report your answer in grams.
1-2 lodine-131 is often used in nuclear medicine to obtain images of the thyroid. If you start with 4.0x10 lodine-131 atoms, how many are left after approximately 1 month? 1-131 has a half- life of 8.0 days. 2) Radium-223 decays with a half-life of 11.4 days. How long will it take for a 0.240-mol sample of radium to decay to 1.50x 10 mol? lodine-131 is often used in nuclear medicine to obtain images of the thyroid. If you start with...
After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant in a country in 1987. the hay in that country was contaminated by a radioactive isotope (half-life 8 days). If it is safe to feed the hay to cows when 12% of the radioactive isotope remains how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? The farmers needed to wait approximately days for it to be safe to feed the hay to the...
Buckeye Nuclear Power is a nuclear plant that provides electricity for southern Ohio. There was an accident and iodine-131 was emitted into the atmosphere. The half-life of iodine-131 is 8 days. If a total of 200 g of iodine-131 was emitted, how much 131 I would remain after 3 months? Show all of your work and report your answer in % remaining. 2. Buckeye Nuclear Power is a nuclear plant that provides electricity for southern Ohio. There was an accident...
On March 11, 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, which subsequently produced a devastating tsunami. The effects of these events were numerous, including entire towns being washed away, nearly 500,000 people displaced, a nuclear power plant left in critical condition, and thousands of lives tragically lost. The earthquake was one of the largest in modern history, and though hard to estimate, could cost nearly $300 billion to clean up. Your group currently has a plant in Japan....
FISCAL POLICY IN THEORY: March, 2020: we are on the verge of Congress and the President passing legislation that will empower the federal government to spend an unprecedented amount of EXTRA money not seen since World War 2 ---- in order to address the pandemic but also to help cushion the blow financially of perhaps ten or twenty million Americans --- or more --- losing their jobs, and thus suffering a drop in income. The scale of the 2020 recession...
