Interpretation:
The number of
Concept Introduction:
The decaying of particle can be called as spontaneous process in which one unstable subatomic particle transforms into multiple other particles. The particles which are created by this process will have less mass in comparison of the original particle.
(a)
Answer to Problem 82CP
The number of
The number of
Explanation of Solution
The following equation is representing the decay of the uranium-232 to radon -222 −
The following formula will be used to calculate the
Atomic number of
Hence, after decay four alpha particles and 2 beta particles will be produced.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason of concern over the inhalation of
Concept Introduction:
The decaying of particle can be called as spontaneous process in which one unstable subatomic particle transforms into multiple other particles. The particles which are created by this process will have less mass in comparison of the original particle.
(b)
Answer to Problem 82CP
The inhalation or ingestion of
Explanation of Solution
The effectiveness of causing the damage to the body because of the inhalation or ingestion of
(c)
Interpretation:
The identity of the solid and the balanced equation of the species decaying
Concept Introduction:
The decaying of particle can be called as spontaneous process in which one unstable subatomic particle transforms into multiple other particles. The particles which are created by this process will have less mass in comparison of the original particle.
(c)
Answer to Problem 82CP
The solid is Polonium.
The balanced equation of the species decaying
Explanation of Solution
The product of nuclide will be represented as
The element
So, the element
Now, the balanced equation will be given as −
Therefore, the solid = Polonium. This element is known as high radioactive element which is more potent
(d)
Interpretation:
The 4.0 phi per liter of air into concentration of unit
Concept Introduction:
The decaying of particle can be called as spontaneous process in which one unstable subatomic particle transforms into multiple other particles. The particles which are created by this process will have less mass in comparison of the original particle.
(d)
Answer to Problem 82CP
The conversion of 4.0 phis per liter of air into concentration of unit
The conversion of mole of
Explanation of Solution
For
The following conversion method will be used to convert the concentration unit of radon into atoms per liter of air −
The following formula will be used to calculate the decay constant using half −life −
Now, the following method will be used to calculate the value 4.0 phi per liter of air into concentration of unit
Now, the following method will be used for the conversion of concentration units of moles of
