- (a) Estimate the years that the deuterium fuel in the oceans could supply the energy needs of the world. Assume world energy consumption to be ten times that of the United States which is 8×1019 J/y and that the deuterium in the oceans could be converted to energy with an efficiency of 32%. You must estimate or look up the amount of water in the oceans and take the deuterium content to be 0.015% of natural hydrogen to find the mass of deuterium available. Note that approximate energy yield of deuterium is 3.37×1014 J/kg. (b) Comment on how much time this is by any human measure.

- The radioactive isotope, 14 6 C does not occur naturally but it is found at constant rate by the action of cosmic rays on the atmosphere. It is taken up by plants and animals and deposited in the body structure along with natural carbon, but this process stops at death. The charcoal from the fire pit of an ancient camp has an activity due to 146C of 12.9 disintegrations per minute, per gram of carbon. If the percentage of 146C compared with normal Carbon in living trees is 1.35 × 10−10%, the decay constant is 3.92 × 10−10 s−1 and the atomic weight = 12.0, what is the age of the campsite?arrow_forwardCobalt-60 and iodine-131 are used in treatments for some types of cancer.

Uranium-fueled reactors require an enhanced proportion of 235U. Since both isotopesof uranium have identical chemical properties, they can be separated only by methods that depend on their differing masses. Onesuch method is gaseous diffusion, in which uranium hexafluoride1UF62 gas diffuses through a series of porous barriers. The lighter 235UF6 molecules have a slightly higher rms speed at a given temperature than the heavier 238UF6 molecules, and this allows thetwo isotopes to be separated. Find the ratio of the rms speeds ofthe two isotopes at 23.0 °C.arrow_forward
