Solve the following: (Show your solutions)
1. Radiation Treatment of Prostate Cancer. In many cases, prostate cancer is treated by implanting 60
to 100 small seeds of radioactive material into the tumor. The energy released from the decays kills
the tumor. One isotope that is used (there are others) is palladium, with a half-life of 17 days. If a
typical grain contains 0.500 g of ,
a. what is its initial activity rate in Bq,
b. what is the rate 50 days later?
2. A 50.0-g sample of carbon from living matter decays at the rate of due to the radioactive in it. What
will be the decay rate of this sample in
a. 1000 years
b. 50,000 years?
3. Calculate the mass defect, the binding energy (in MeV), and the binding energy per nucleon of
a. the nitrogen (14.006u)
b. the helium nucleus, (4.003u)
c. How does the binding energy per nucleon compare for these two nuclei?
4. The most common isotope of uranium, has atomic mass (238.050783 u.) Calculate
a. the mass defect;
b. the binding energy (in MeV)
c. the binding energy per nucleon
5. Pick one question to answer:
a. How does Geiger counter works
b. What is the difference between stochastic and deterministic effect of radiation
c. Signs and symptoms of acute radiation sickness
1. Using the data below (data gathered when 200g water is heated by unknown fuel), calculate
the heat of combustion (H) of unknown fuel. Express the answer in KJ/g.
Initial temperature of water 30c
Final temperature of water 50c
Mass of water 200g
Initial mass of unknown fuel 40.00g
Final mass of unknown fuel 25.00g
2. Prove that the specific energy of
a. Octane (C8H16) is -47.9 MJ/g
b. 1-Pentanol (CH3(CH2)4OH) is -37.82MJ/kg
3. Calculated the energy released (in the form of heat) when 60.0g of 1-pentanol reacts with
oxygen.
2CH3(CH2)4OH + 1502(g) 10CO2(g) +12H2O(l) H=-3331kJ/mol
Express the answer on kWh and HPh, the basic unit of electricity.
Conversion Factor: 1 MJ = 0.28 kWh = 0.37 HPh
4. A spirit burner used 1.00 g methanol to raise the temperature of 100.0g water in a mental
can from 28.00C to 60.0c. Calculate the heat of combustion in KJ/mol.

5. You are given a small bar of an unknown metal. You find the density of the metal to be
9.55 g/cm3. An X-ray diffraction experiment measures the edge of the face-centered
cubic unit cell as 4.06 x 10-10 m. Find the gram-atomic weight of this metal and
tentatively identify it.
6. Prove that the packing efficiency of BCC is 68% and FCC is 72%, Assume that the edge
length of the unit cell of the two structures is 10 cm.
7. A metal crystallizes in a BCC cubic lattice. The radius of the atom is 0.257 nm. The
density of the element is 2.54 g/cm3. What is this metal?
