One radioactive material that is produced in atomic bombs is the isotope strontium-90, which has a half-life of 28 years. If a person is exposed to strontium-90, it can collect in human bone tissue, where it can cause leukemia and other cancers. If an atomic bomb test site is contaminated by strontium-90, how long will it take for the radioactive material to decay to 30% of the original amount? (Round the growth factor to eight decimal numbers. Round your answer...

Enter your answer in the provided box. For similar light intensity, compact fluorescent bulbs use about 25% of the energy of incandescent bulbs. Let's say you replaced a bulb of 75 W with a fluorescent bulb and that your utility charges $0.15/kW-hour. How many dollars would you save in electricity in the 10,000-hour lifetime of the bulb? When fission of Uranium-235 is initiated by a neutron it can result in many different products. Fill in the correct Isotope to complete...

Enter your answer in the provided box. The 235U isotope (atomic mass = 235.00) undergoes fission when bombarded with neutrons. However, its natural abundance is only 0.72 percent. To separate it from the more abundant 238U isotope (atomic mass = 238.00), uranium is first converted to UF, which is easily vaporized above room temperature. The mixture of 23SUF, and 238UF gases is then subjected to many stages of effusion. Calculate how much more quickly 235UF, effuses than 238UF. Give the...
