Chapter 11, Problem 77AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The fraction of the initial concentration of each isotope remains after 10 years should be calculated. The amount of radiation from each of these isotopes should be compared with the initial amount. The handling of each isotope to minimize the risk of exposure should be explained by applying the green chemistry principles.

Concept Introduction: All the radioactive reactions follow first order kinetics, thus, the rate equation will be as follows:

  Chemistry For Changing Times (14th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 77AP , additional homework tip  1

Here, k is rate constant; t is time, Chemistry For Changing Times (14th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 77AP , additional homework tip  2is initial concentration and Chemistry For Changing Times (14th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 77AP , additional homework tip  3is concentration at time t.

The half life of the reaction is related to rate constant as follows:

  Chemistry For Changing Times (14th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 77AP , additional homework tip  4

Here, Chemistry For Changing Times (14th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 77AP , additional homework tip  5is half-life time, at which initial concentration becomes half of its initial value.
