A cubic sample weighing 0.5524 g is composed of Titanium with a 2,0 at% single element impurity.
Its crystal structure is BCC (APF = 0.68, n 2, CN = 8), and when viewed under a microscope, it can
be seen that the sample contains 15,000,000 unit cells along any given edge of the cube. What
element is the impurity?

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment (and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass.
How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg?
If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80-kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.28 x 109 years.
Polonium, the Period 6 member of Group 6A(16), is a rare radioactive metal that is the only element with a crystal structure based on the simple cubic unit cell. If its density is 9.142 g/cm³,calculate an approximate atomic radius for polonium.
