Assume ordinary soil contains natural uranium in amounts of 1 part per million by mass. (a) How much uranium is in the top 1.75 m of soil on a 3.8-acre (165,528-ft²) plot of ground, assuming the specific gravity of soil is 4.00? ☑ 107646.38 You appear to have made an error in converting units or in keeping track of exponents. kg (b) How much of the isotope 235U, appropriate for nuclear reactor fuel, is in this soil? Hint: See Appendix B for the percent abundance of 235 U. g 92
