- An element with an atomic mass of 57 has an isotope with an atomic of mass 58. The source of this additional mass isIf a sample of a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 3 years, how much of the original sample will be left at the end of:a) 3 years?b) 6 years?If a sample of a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 3 years, how much of the original sample will be left at the end of: 3 years? 6 years? 9 years? 15 years?
- Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. What mass of carbon-14 would have a decay rate of 20,000 Bq? Considering that carbon-14 decays via beta-minus radiation, ALSO write the complete nuclear decay equation.How does the energy from the fissioning of a single uranium nucleus compare with the energy from the combustion of a single carbon atom?
