Calcium-48 is used to produce heavy elements. A research facility uses a particle accelerator that can accelerate a proton to 50 MeV to fire a beam of calcium ions at a target. 1) What is the heaviest stable isotope that the ions in the beam could fuse with? 2) Assuming the two nuclei fuse; what isotope is formed in this reaction? 3) Consider this same system with the isotope Calcium-40 instead. What isotope would the fusion produce? 4) Why is Calcium-48 used for this purpose?
A positron and an electron annihilate each other upon colliding, thereby producing energy in the form of two gamma rays. Assuming that both gamma rays have the same energy (since both particles have the same mass), calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation used in pm.

Calculate the amount of americium-241 consumed in a smoke detector (initially containing 5.00 µg of Am), in micrograms, that has been used for one year if the half-life is 433 years.
A rock contains 0.697 mg of 206pb for every 1.000 mg of 238 U present. Assuming that no lead was originally present, that all the 206pb formed over the years has remained in the rock, and that the t1/2 number of nuclides in intermediate stages of decay between 238U and 206pb is negligible, calculate the age of the rock. (For 238U, 4.5x10⁹ years.) yr =
A rock containing 238U and 206Pb was examined to determine its approximate age. The molar ratio of 206Pb to 238U was 0.1682. Assuming no lead was originally present and that all lead formed from 238U remained in the rock, what is the age of the rock (in years)? The half-life of 238U is 4.500e+9 yr.
