If a rock containing U-238 initially reads 92.4 counts per minute on a Geiger counter, what will its reading be 3 weeks later?
A Geiger counter reading of a radioactive sample is initially 7020 counts per minute. The same sample gives a reading of 402 counts per minute 10.6 h later. What is the sample's half-life?
A Geiger counter registers a count rate of 7,600 counts per minute from a sample of a radioisotope. Ten minutes later, the count rate is 1,900 counts per minute. What is the half-life of the radioisotope?
Suppose counts recorded by a Geiger counter have an average of four counts per minute. What is the probability that the first count occurs is less than 3 minutes?
2.Suppose counts recorded by a Geiger counter have an average of seven counts per minute. a.What is the probability that there are no count in a 45 second interval? b.What is the probability that the first count occurs is less than 2 minutes?
A sample of a particular radioisotope is placed near a Geiger counter, which is observed to register 160 counts per minute. Eight hours later, the detector counts at a rate of 10 counts per minute. What is the half-life of the material (in minutes)?
*Uncertainty in background counts The background counts (C) detected in 5 minutes by a Geiger counter is found to be C = 321. The background count rate per minute (C/min) can be easily determined. What is the uncertainty in this value (ΔC/min)? Express your answer to one decimal place.
A Geier counter registers a count rate of 6,000 counts per minute from a sample of a radioisotope. Eighteen minutes later, the count rate is 1,500 counts per minute. What is the half-life of the radioisotope? ________ minutes
7. anium-238 is an alpha-emitter with a half-life of 4.522 x 10 years and an isotope mass of 238.0508 g/mol. This isotope is useful for dating geological samples. A rock from the ocean floor contains 0.4203 g Uranium-238. What is the activity of this rock (from 238U) in counts per minute? Show all of your work. 8. Scientists exploring the new element Covidium (Cv) discover it has various isotopes. Calculate the binding energy per nucleon in units of kJ for...
please complete the questions has not answering with clarification of the answer to any page Name Lab Section _Date The Mole Concept and Atomic Weights The purpose of this activity is to better understand the concepts of relative atomic mass, counting by weighing and the mole. Percent composition and average atomic mass are included. Part I. Relative Atomic Masses and the Mole - Early Method When John Dalton proposed his atomic theory, he stated that the atoms of each element...
