Assume you have a radioactive spill of 9tc and you are measuring it using a large volume gm tube detector in the shape of a flat disc. you measure 1 counts per minute at a distance of 1 cm from the contaminated surfac a. what detection geometry will you assume for your calculation? b. what is your estimate of the counting efficiency of this geometry? c. what is the activity of the spill? d. if it was decided to leave it there without cleaning it off the surface, how long would it be before the activity was indistinguishable from background radiation of 25 counts per second (assuming it would be within 2 standard deviations of background)? how dangerous is this spill?

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?
