Nuclear Chemistry

II.Half Life (t 1/2 ) - the time it takes for one-half of a radioactive sample to decay

Table 10.2

Radioactive Decay of a g Sample of Iodine-131

Nuclear Chemistry –Mathematical relationship to use when calculating half lives or amount of material left after x half- lives have passed. –Based on natural logarithms (ln) –K = elimination rate constant = M/M 0 = e -KT/t 1/2 ln(M/M 0 ) = -KT/t 1/2 A. Decay Curves

Examples 1 and 2 A radioactive substance has a half-life of 7.5 minutes. If you initially have 100 grams of this material, what mass would remain after one hour? You have a sample of radioactive material that initially weighs 50 grams now weighs only grams after 24 hours. What is the half-life of this substance?

Nuclear Chemistry III.Health Effects of Radioactivity A.Nuclear radiation will damage or kill rapidly dividing cells such as bone marrow, skin, and the reproductive and intestinal systems. B.Food is irradiated, exposed to gamma radiation, to kill any living organism in the food.

Nuclear Chemistry D.Beta Emission (Decay) - decay of a nucleus by emitting a β  particle; 1 neutron is lost and 1 proton is gained.

Nuclear Chemistry E.Positron Emission (Decay) - decay of a nucleus by emitting a positron, β + ; 1 proton is lost and 1 neutron is gained.
