Tritium (3H) is an isotope of hydrogen that is sometimes used to make the hands of watches glow in the dark. The half-life of tritium is 12 years. If you start with 4 milligrams of tritium and wait 60 years, approximately how much of the original tritium remains?
0.0625 mg
0.500 mg
12 mg

Until roughly 1970, tritium (3H), a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, was a component of fluorescent watch dials and hands. For 3H, t1/2 = 12.3 yr. 3rd attempt FeedbackSee HintSee Periodic Table Assume you have such a watch. If a minimum of 13.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how many years could you read the time at night? Assume first-order kinetics.

Part A: Tritium is a radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen. Tritium has a half-life of 12.5 years. How many years would it take until only 3.22% of a sample remain? Answer should be in years. Part B: Radioactive Carbon-11 has a half life of only 20.3 minutes and an atomic mass number of 11 u. Calculate the activity of 3.58 g of Carbon-11. Answer should be in Bq.

Background (Part 1): We are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources. All of us are exposed to radiation every day, from natural sources such as minerals in the ground and cosmic radiation to man-made sources such as medical x-rays. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S. is 620 millirem. In this activity, you will use the interactive online dose calculator to estimate...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
