Summary Introduction

To determine:

The amount of X-ray scans would a person have to have before any radiation sickness detected at 0.2 Sv, As if a single airport X-ray scan has a biological radiation effect of 0.0009 mSv.

Introduction:

Alpha and beta particles, positrons, neutrons, gamma rays and X-rays are known as ionizing radiation. They eject electrons of another atom which they interact. The amount of radiation exposure that is harmful can be measured by the sievert (Sv) an SI unit. It is used to measure the effect of biological damage.

Nuclear radiation can be harmful to everyday life. The sievert (Sv) unit is used to measure the effect of biological damage. Millirem is another unit to measure biological damage. Therefore, one Sv is equal to 10,000 millitrem.

An orange laser has a wavelength of 610 nm. What is the energy of this light?
The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues:   Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S   where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550.   Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin. Predict the absorbance of a solution that’s 1.000 g/L transferrin in a 1.000-cm-pathlength cuvet. Estimate the g/L of a transferrin solution with an absorbance of 1.50 at 280 nm.
In GC, what order will the following molecules elute from the column? CH3OCH3, CH3CH2OH, C3H8, C4H10
