Question
Chapter 25, Problem 14PS
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation The other elements generated in the given reaction has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The "Radioactive decays" are a subgroup of "nuclear reactions" that are spontaneous rather than induced.
Than the nuclear fission reactions a very heavy nucleus, after absorbing additional light particles (usually neutrons), splits into two or sometimes three pieces. This is an induced nuclear reaction.
The newly formed fission fragments have highly unstable neutron to proton ratios which makes them extremely radioactive.

- Iridium‑192 is one radioisotope used in brachytherapy, in which a radioactive source is placed inside a patient's body to treat cancer. Brachytherapy allows the use of a higher than normal dose to be placed near the tumor while lowering the risk of damage to healthy tissue. Iridium‑192 is often used in the head or breast. Use the radioactive decay curve of iridium‑192 to answer the three questions. The percentage of the sample remaining is plotted on the y axis versus the time in days on the x axis. Some of the points included on the decay curve are 0 days 100 percent remaining, 5 days 95.41 percent remaining, 25 days 79.08 percent remaining, 35 days 71.99 percent remaining, 40 days 68.69 percent remaining, 45 days 65.54 percent remaining, 55 days 59.67 percent remaining, 65 days 54.32 precent remaining, 70 days 51.83 percent remaining, 75 days 49.45 percent remaining, 80 days 47.19 percent remaining, 85 days 45.02 percent remaining, 105 days 37.31 percent remaining, 115 days 33.97…arrow_forwardBalance the following nuclear reaction: 4He2 + 14N7 → 17O8 + ?arrow_forwardK is 3.30 x 10^-2.
