Bombarding sodium-23 with a proton produces nuclide X and a neutron. What is nuclide X?[tex]^{23}_{11}Na--^{\beta^+}--> ^{23}_{10}Ne + e^{+}[/tex]answer: neon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The isotope P has a half-life of 14.3 days. If a sample originally contained 1.00 g of P, how much was left after 43 days?0 days >>> 1.00g14,3 days >>> 1.00g :2 = 0,5g(14.3+14.3) days >>> 0.5g : 2 = 0.25g(14.3+14.3+14.3) days >>> 0.25g : 2 = 0.125g answer: 0.125g~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Identify X in the reaction below. U + C → Cf + X[tex]^{238}_{92}U ---> ^{251}_{98}Cf+6e^-[/tex]answer: 6 electrons (so it's beta⁻)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A .20 gram sample of C-14 was allowed to decay for 3 half-lives. What mass of the sample will remain? Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years. at the beginning >>> 0.20g1 half-live >>> 0.20g : 2 = 0.10g2 half-live >>> 0.10g : 2 = 0.05g3 half-live >>> 0.05g : 2 = 0.025ganswer: 0.025g~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The isotope Cu has a half-life of 30 s. If a sample originally contained 48 mg of Cu, how much time passed before the amount fell to 3 mg?0 s (at the beginning) >>> 48mg30s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 48mg : 2 = 24mg(30+30)s >>>>>>>>>>> 24mg : 2 = 12mg(30+30+30)s >>>>>>>> 12mg : 2 = 6mg(30+30+30+30)s >>>>> 6mg : 2 = 3mganswer: 30+30+30+30 = 120s~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What radionuclide decays to Fe-56 by beta emission?[tex]^{56}_{26}Fe--^{\beta^-}-->^{56}_{27}Co + e^-[/tex]answer: ⁵⁶₂₇Co~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Cf to Cf conversion is accompanied by __________.Cf to Cf ???? maybe...mistake?
