Even though plutonium-239 (+1/2 = 2.41 x 10' yr) is one of the main fission fuels, it is still a radiation hazard present in spent uranium fuel from nuclear power plants. How many years does it take for 87% of the plutonium-239 in spent fuel to decay?
The plutonium isotope Pu-239 is a radioactive material. The half-life of plutonium isotope Pu-239 is 24,360 years. Ten grams of plutonium is released in a nuclear accident. (8 marks)Determine the rule, domain and range of the function model.How long will it take for the 10 gram to decay to 1 gram? Round off your answer to the nearest year.https://i.gyazo.com/da1b156da98cdf36331e242ef626bbcb.png
1.Uranium-238 will decay to thorium-234 by means of a. gamma decay b. sigma decay c. beta decay d. alpha decay 2. Which of these is the oxidizing agent? Zn + 2H+ -------> Zn+2 + H2 a. H2 b. 2H+ c. Zn d. Zn+2
Uranium-238 has 20% alpha decay and 80% beta decay. Its overall half life is 1 hour. What is the half life for the alpha decay. (These numbers are completely made up. I'm just trying to understand how to do these types of questions)
can someone help me with my homework? thanks in advance

plutonium-239 (239/94 Pu) is an isotope that can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. when the plutonium nucleus is hit by a nuetron it undergoes fission, and splits into two smaller nuclei. there are many possibilities for what the smaller nuclei might be, but we'll just look at one possible fission reaction where it splits into cerium 148 (148/58 Ce) and krypton 89 (89/36 Kr) a) write an equation for the fission of plutonium 239 into cerium 148...
