1.
Read the Radiation: The Good, the Bad, and its Place in our Modern World,” by Julianna Poole,
ChemMatters.
December 2021, and answer the following questions.
a.
Who are the “Radium Girls” and how did their experiences lead to the passage of labor laws to protect workers from unsafe labor practices?
The “Radium Girls” were the female workers along with Maggia who were poisoned from painting watches with self-luminous paint. b.
What type of reaction does the equation given at the top of page 9 represent? Is it balanced? Explain.
It is an alpha decay reaction and it is balanced because the isotopes of radium is 226 and the number of isotopes in radon is 222 + the alpha isotope which would make it 226, similar goes for the number of protons in radium which is 88, and the number of protons of radon is 86 and would eventually be 88 after adding the alpha protons to it.
c.
On page 9 the article states Rn-222 decays to Po-218. Write the equation for this reaction.

Do the colors on the electromagnetic spectrum on page 11 make sense? Why or why not.
Yes, it makes sense because it displays clearly about the rays and the wavelength for each of the rays.
e.
What radioactive isotope is present in smoke detectors? Should you be concerned about having smoke detectors in your living space? Explain.

Module 2 Quiz
Americium-241 is present in smoke detectors. No, it is a must to have a smoke detector in your house, so it would aware you if you have any fire around. This would be important to those especially with big houses and kitchens. It can save lives and reduce deaths. f.
Write the balanced equations for each of the two radioactive isotopes currently used in glow in
the dark watches (page 11).
3 H

Pr + 0 -1 e
2.
When a radioactive isotope decays and the resulting isotope is also radioactive, it will also decay, and this series will continue until a stable isotope is produced. U-238 undergoes a multistep decay series and one of the isotopes in this series is Rn-222. Rn-222 is radioactive. It has a half-life of 3.8 days. Radon (Rn) is a gas that has a boiling point of -62
o
C and it is more dense than air.
a.
If 40 pCi of Rn was in a sealed room, what would the activity be after 38 days? 3.82 b.
Use the information provided above about Rn to explain the infographic, namely why Rn
emanates from the ground, why concentrations can build up in basements, and why it is
the main cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers
. Radon can pass from the soil to the air in a gaseous form and enter your home. Because your basement is below ground, it's
the first room that radon gas will reach as it rises from the soil to the air. The concentration of radon gas in your basement will likely be higher than in any other room
of your house.
c.
If a home is tested and found to contain high concentrations of Rn, the EPA recommends installing a vent that will release the Rn above the roof. Why do you think Rn should be vented above the roof rather than discharging the Rn out of the home at ground level
? In a house with forced heating and air cooling, radon gas can be easily distributed on all houses. When radon gas is discharged through the radon-lowering system above the roof, radon concentrations fall significantly to the distance from the discharge point.

This question involves data collection and your response will include a description of what you did and an argument that explains how can you protect yourself from UV light. You received UV beads in lab on Thursday to use to carry out this investigation.
Background Information
Ultra-violet radiation comes from the sun, and it is energetic enough to break chemical bonds and cause undesirable reactions including those in your DNA, that can result in skin cancers. Depletion of ozone in the stratosphere which protects us from overexposure to UV radiation, has allowed an increase in UV radiation reaching the surface of the earth. In this investigation, you will be exploring
how well different materials block UV radiation.
There are three types of UV radiation, UVA, UVB, and UVC. 3

Figure 1: Diagram to show the approximate amount of radiation the earth receives from the sun (Ciasto, Laura, Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: Don’t feel the burn, avoid it! ClimateWatch Magazine, 7/24/2020, https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/ultraviolet-uv-radiation-don’t-feel-burn-avoid-it
Consider what you’ve learned in module 2 about the relationship between wavelength and energy. UV-C
is not shown here because it doesn’t pass through the ozone layer. It has wavelengths between 100-280 nm. Which type of UV radiation is the most energetic? Why?
Question to investigate
How can you protect yourself from exposure to UV light (besides staying inside and completely away from any UV radiation)?
You will answer this question in your argument after you’ve performed the investigation, but it is included here to help you guide your process in creating a procedure. Procedure
Items needed: You have at least 6-8 small beads (they should all be the same color when you put them in the sunlight) that change colors upon exposure to UV radiation. You can check the color of the
beads by putting them in the sun for a few minutes. The beads are quite sensitive so should be kept completely out of the sunlight until you are ready to begin the test.
Please record all your data in your notebook. You will need to record what you see, and what you do. Please take pictures or a video of the beads to show the colors and include those as well (either as part of your video or as part of this quiz document you will submit through Blackboard. 1.
Choose at least three ways
to block the beads from exposure to UV light that you might use to protect yourself when you are outside.
a.
Use sunscreen as one of the materials to block the beads from UV light.

Module 2 Quiz
b.
If you have more than one type of sunscreen with different SPF values, you can use these as separate variables. The sun protection factor (SPF) of a sunscreen is a measure of how much solar energy is required to burn the skin with the sunscreen on relative to the energy needed to burn unprotected skin. It is not a measure of how much longer you can stay in the sun with the sunscreen on than without it. Many factors, including time of day, skin type, amount of sunscreen and how frequently it is reapplied, influence
the amount of solar energy to which someone is exposed. For more information on sunscreens visit the FDA website.
2.
Decide what you will measure to be able to compare how effective the different materials are at
blocking UV light. 3.
Determine the control you will use to compare your samples against for this investigation. This helps you answer the question, how do you know that the beads changed colors? a.
Independent variable– what variable will you manipulate? b.
Dependent variable – what variable depends on the independent variable (so what will change as a result of manipulating the independent variable?)
c.
Controlled variables – What do you not
want to change for all set ups (temperature, amount, etc.)?
4.
Conduct tests outside.
5.
Repeat if needed if you find that your first experiment doesn’t go as you’d like or if you want to determine the reproducibility of your study. The beads will work again if you take them out of sunlight for a while and use them again.
Your will submit your response to this question in the form of a Flipgrid video
. Click here to get to the prompt in Flipgrid.
The only thing you need to submit in written format with this quiz are your lab notes (observations and basic description of what you did). Your argument and answers to additional questions included here can be completed in the video. *A note about Flipgrid, you do not need to show your face in the video. If you prefer to make a video of your results and speak over it, that is absolutely fine. Make sure to include in your video the following: 1.
Procedure – Describe what you did in sufficient detail so someone can recreate your experimental design including identifying the variables in your experiment. 2.
Results: Show beads or pictures of beads in video, also include the weather (cloud cover, temperature, precipitation), and where you performed the experiment (outside) 5

Argument: Use the CER format
to answer the question: How can you protect yourself from exposure to UV light? You may use the this video
as a resource for the reasoning component of your argument.
4.
Reflection: 2-EHMC and TDSA are two molecules that absorb UV light over a range of wavelengths. In figure 2, the variable on the y-axis, absorbance, is a measure of the amount of UV light absorbed by the molecule. Higher absorbance indicates the molecule absorbs more light. a)
What is a broad-spectrum sunscreen? Do any of your sunscreens say this?
Broad-spectrum sunscreen helps to protect against both UVA and UVB radiation as they reach our skin from the sun through the earth’s atmosphere. UVA is primarily for tanning and is also used in tanning machines but UVB can go deep into the skin and result into sunburns. Yes, I do have a sunscreen from the brand Olay, that has broad spectrum SPF 15.
b)
Explain why a broad-spectrum sunscreen would contain both molecules: 2-EHMC and TDSA.
2-EHMC is a UVB blocker used in the sunscreen and TDSA is used to protect the skin from tanning and sunburns. Broad spectrum contains both these molecules as it protects the skin to the fullest and saves it from strong rays of the sun that can cause skin cancer as well. c)
Does the absorbance spectrum in Figure 2 support the results you obtained from your experiment for the sunscreen used as one of your variables? Explain.
d)
If you had used zinc oxide in your experiment with the beads, how to you think its results would compare to the sunscreen you used (and if you did not use sunscreen, compare to the results of what you did use).

additional concepts you select yourself.
Include arrows connecting the concepts to show the direction of the link.
Write a linking phrase on each arrow so that concept – linking phrase – concept reads like a sentence. For example, if you added isotopes to your map, you could link isotopes to radioactive with the arrow pointing from isotopes to radioactive with the phrase “with unstable nuclei are” so it reads, isotopes
“with unstable nuclei are” radioactive

The airbags in vehicles contain a mixture of NaN,, KNO, and SiO, When a car decelerates at a rapid
pace, an electrical signal goes to the gas generator inside the airbag, triggering a series of three
chemical reactions:
10NAN.
10NA +2KNỎ,
K,O + Na,0 + Na + SiO, - K,SiO,
10NA + 15N,(g)

These reactions produce gas (N.) to fill the airbag and convert sodium azide (NaN,), a highly toxic
substance, to alkaline silicate (K,SiO ).
The quantity of NaN, must be carefully calculated to ensure that the volume of gas is adequate to fill
the airbag firmly enough to protect the passenger but not overfill and cause the bag to explode. A
standard airbag needs 67 L of N, (g) to properly inflate.

Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by the method of radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to radioactive isotope of carbon, 14C, with
a half-life of about 5730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates 14C through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon and the
amount of ¹4C begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. A parchment fragment was discovered that had about 74% as much 14C
radioactivity as does plant material on earth today. Estimate the age of the parchment. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Strontium-90 is a radioactive byproduct of nuclear reactors (and nuclear weapons) that behaves
biologically much like calcium (also in Group II on the periodic table). Consequentially, it can
accumulate in the milk of mammals and
then into the bone when ingested. This is
a particular concern when children ingest
milk in significant amounts that has been
contaminated by 90Sr. The public first

decades ago when the United States
was involved in atmospheric atomic
bomb testing; one of the major concerns
about health impacts of nuclear tests

This is a particular concern when children ingest milk in significant amounts that has been contaminated by 90Sr. The public first became aware of this potential threat decades ago when the United States was involved in atmospheric atomic bomb testing; one of the major concerns about health impacts of nuclear tests regarded public exposure related to the intake of 90Sr in contaminated milk. By what type of nuclear process (reaction) is it formed from U-235? First, write a reaction showing this, assuming that the reaction was initiated by an energetic neutron colliding with the uranium nucleus and resulted in the formation of a Sr-90 nuclide plus three additional neutrons, plus some other product (see fig). Next, write two…arrow_forward
