Ruthenium-106 (106Ru) is used to treat melanoma in the eye. This isotope decays by β– emission with a half-life of 373.59 days. One source of the isotope is reprocessed nuclear reactor fuel. How many protons and neutrons does the 106Ru nucleus contain? Identify the missing daughter nucleus in the β– emission decay of 106Ru below. How many years after 106Ru is implanted in the eye does it take for its decay rate (or activity) to be reduced to 27.5% of the initial decay rate? Use 1 year = 365 days.
A student is surprised by her work. She feels that the nuclear binding energy is high for oxygen-16. Her work is as follows: Part 1: One neutron's mass is 1.008665 amu, while one proton's mass is 1.007276 amu. In oxygen - 16 there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons with a total mass of 16.127528 amu. (1.007276x8)+(1.008665x8)=16.127528 Part 2: Because the mass of oxygen-16 is 15.994915 amu, the difference between the mass of an atom and the sum of its protons and neutrons is the mass defect. The mass defect for oxygen-16 is 0.132613 amu. 16.127528-15.994915 0.132613 Part 3: The missing mass in oxygen-16 is converted to the nuclear binding energy using Einstein's equation E = mc². The amount of energy is 1.19x1016 J, which I think is too high. E = mc² = (0.132613) × (3.00 x 108)2=1.193×1016 J Which part of the solution was there an error? a) Parts 2 and 3. b) Part 3 only. c) Parts 1 and 2. d) No error.
