(a)
Interpretation:
The average yearly dose of radiation from radon gas 200 mrem should be reported in terms of rem.
Concept Introduction:
Though the SI unit for measurement of radiation is Sievert, there are other units as well. It is rem which is usually a large dose of radiation. It is one-thousandth of rem and is often related to dosages encountered while administering for X-rays in the medical field.
(b)
Interpretation:
The radiation 0.014 rem should be reported in terms of mrem.
Concept Introduction:
Rem is the unit of measuring radiation exposure and is equal to one-thousandth of rem. Rem is defined as Roentgen Equivalent Man which relates to the biological effect of radiation dosages. It is mostly correlating to low levels of ionizing radiation.
(c)
Interpretation:
The larger dose should be selected from 200 mrem radiation of radon gas and 0.014 rem of thyroid scan radiation.
Concept Introduction:
The measuring unit for radiation is mostly in terms of Rem which is Roentgen Equivalent Man. This is one-thousandth of the rem and relates to lower levels of radiation exposure.

- 1. For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫ the terms primary, secondary and tertiary have different meanings when applied to amines than they do when applied to alcohols. • a tertiary amine is one that is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom (one with three C atoms bonded to it). • simple five-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyrrole) are typically more electron rich than benzene. ⚫ simple six-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyridine) are typically more electron rich than benzene. • pyrrole is very weakly basic because protonation anywhere on the ring disrupts the aromaticity. • thiophene is more reactive than benzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • pyridine is more reactive than nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of pyridine is part of the pi system.arrow_forwardThe following reactions are NOT ordered in the way in which they occur.
