I have used the back of the grade initials following pages (check box): 1-3 33 1. 4 30 2. 5-6 37 3. Total 100 4. page 1 of 4 e1.doc 10/8/2004 name:_ 1. (6 pts) Fill in the blank: a megawatt is to a milliwatt as a kilowatt is to a _______________watt. The abbreviation for mega is M, the abbreviation for milli is m, the abbreviation for kilo is k, and the abbreviation for what you put in the blank is: ________. 2. (12 pts) In 1896 the French scientist Henri Becquerel (1852-1908) was studying the mineral called pitchblende that contained uranium, when he discovered that it spontaneously emits high-energy radiation. This spontaneous emission of radiation is called radioactivity. At Becquerel's suggestion Marie Curie and her husband, Pierre, began their famous experiments to isolate the radioactive components of the mineral. Further study of the nature of radioactivity, principally by the British scientist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937), revealed three types of radiation: alpha ( ), beta ( ), and gamma ( ) radiation. Each type differs in its response to an electric field, as shown in the figure below. Identify on the figure below which type of radiation is alpha, which is beta, and which is gamma radiation. Also indicate the sign of charge of the particles in each beam. 3. (15 pts) Carbon-14 is the radioactive isotope most often used to date the age of once living materials such as wood and bone. The decay rate of carbon-14 is such that half its nuclei disappear in 5,730 years. Dating is possible because the fractional abundance of carbon-14 available to living organisms is constantly replenished, so one knows the fraction of carbon-14 in the organism at its death. The replenishment occurs by neutron-capture reactions high in the earth’s atmosphere where cosmic rays are absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere, generating the required high-energy neutrons plus other nuclear reaction products and, as a side benefit, protecting us on the earth’s surface from most cosmic rays. Fill in the blanks in the neutron-capture equation below that replenishes the supply of radioactive carbon-14. + 10n → 14 page 2 of 4 C + 1 1 e1.doc 10/8/2004 name:_ 4. (30 pts) Carbon-14 is made artificially by irradiation of a calcium compound with neutrons from a nuclear reactor to make radioactive calcium bicarbonate (CaH2C2O6), which is then purified away from the residue of the original calcium compound. Assuming all elements have their normal abundances in the purified calcium bicarbonate except carbon which is entirely carbon-14 with an atomic mass of 14.0032 u, what is the formula mass of this compound? page 3 of 4 e1.doc 10/8/2004 name:_ 5. (31 pts) In order to determine how a drug is metabolized in the liver of mammals, the drug is synthesized with carbon derived entirely from the radioactive calcium bicarbonate from problem 4. The intention is to administer the drug to rats, remove the rats’ livers at predetermined times after administering the drug, separate the many compounds in each rat’s liver and measure their radioactivity to determine what compounds are derived from the drug as the degradation proceeds. To confirm that the desired drug has been synthesized, a sample of the drug is burned in a combustion train. 13.801 mg of CO2 and 4.504 mg of H2O are obtained. Assuming the drug contains only carbon-14 and hydrogen of normal abundance, what is the empirical formula of the drug? 6. (6 pts) What experimental evidence indicated that the volume of the atom contains for the most part little mass and that most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in a very small volume called the nucleus? Please answer this question in two or three sentences. page 4 of 4 e1.doc 10/8/2004
