Chem120 week 6 Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Initial Post Instructions The Discussions in this course are set up deepen your understanding of the material as you make real world connections and employ creative thinking. To get the most from the se discussions, full engagement is expected on the part of the student. Be sure to stop by the discussion section frequently, not only to post, but to read the postings of your peers and instructor. Engaging with your peers and learning together is key to this experience. For your initial post, choo...

Week 6 Discussion: Radiation Hello everyone, For this weeks discussion I will do option 2 on the topic of Uranium- 238. Uranium-238 is the most common isotope of Uranium yielding 99.2 percent wit hin natural uranium. Uranium- 238 has 92 protons and 146 neutrons. It was also recorded that it has a half- life of 4.5 billion years. a. Uranium- 238 is an ionizing radiation. b. Uranium- 238 gives off alpha particles which are not effectively penetrating so s long a its rays are found outside of the b...

In this section, we explore the rules of energy that we observe in the universe. We see many examples of these laws in action on a day-to- day basis. You will learn how to compare and contrast exothermic and endothermic reactions as well as the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Week 6 Lab: Nuclear Chemistry Objectives: • Identify the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear reactions. • Identify the concept of radioactive decay. • Identify the nuclear changes associated with alpha, beta or gamma decay. • Write the products of nuclear reactions involving alpha, beta or gamma emissions. • Explain the concept of half-lives and complete half-life calculations. • Identify common subatomic particles and energies involved in nuclear reactions • ...

1. In your own words, describe what is occurring during the process of electron beta decay, explaining what is ejected from the unstable nucleus and focusing subatomic changes. (2 points for clear and accurate description). 2. Write balanced chemical reactions for the following: (1 point each, 4 points total) a. Cobolt-60 undergoes beta decay b. Americium-241 undergoes alpha decay c. Copper-60 undergoes positron emission d. Gallium-66 undergoes electron capture 3. Strontium-89 is an is...

Option 1: While we often think of radiation as dangerous, radioactive isotopes are widely used in the field of healthcare as well as in many other fields. For your initial post, choose a radioactive isotope used in healthcare or another field and report on how your isotope is used. Be sure to answer both of the following questions as part of your initial post: a. What type(s) of radioactive decay does your isotope undergo? b. How is your isotope used? Use at least one outside source and ci...

Learning objectives • Explain the molecular structure of sugars and polysaccharides • Explain digestion and appreciate the complexity of the human body • Experiment with different foods and measure their impact on the blood sugar level Introduction Most people are familiar with carbohydrates, especially when it comes to what we eat. For example, to lose weight, some individuals adhere to “low-carb” diets. Athletes, in contrast, often “carbohydrate-load” before important compet...
