4) During World War II, tritium (*H) was a component of fluorescent watch dials and hands. Assume you have such a watch that was made in January 1944. If 17% or more of the original tritium was needed to read the dial in dark places, until what year could you read the time at night? (For ³H, t/2 = 12.3 yr.) %3D

The natural abundance of 30Si is 3.1%. Upon irradiation with neutrons, this isotope is converted to 31Si, which decays to the stable isotope 31P. This provides a way of introducing trace amounts of phosphorus into silicon in amuch more uniform fashion than is possible by ordinary mixing of silicon and phosphorus and gives semiconductor devices the capability of handling much higher levels of power. Write balanced nuclear equations for the twosteps in the preparation of 31P from 30Si.
