Produce A Summary Reactions Sheet For All The Chemical Reactions Encountered In Production Of Materials
Reactions & Nuclear Chemistry Assessment Task Assignment
Question 1
Produce a summary reactions sheet for all the chemical reactions encountered in production of materials. Your summary should contain the following components a) Name of reaction b) General word equation c) Balance formulae equation d) An example of the reaction
Question 2
What types of instruments and processes are used to detect radiation?
The properties of nuclear radiation are used to detect their levels. Different types of radiation have different effects on the human body. The key properties that are used to detect nuclear radiation include the ability to: * Geiger-Müller tube
Geiger-Müller tubes work using ionising effect of radioactivity. It is best at detecting alpha particles because alpha particles ionise strongly. …show more content…
(Advantages / Disadvantages- provide your opinion using your collected information and analysis).
Radiation Dosage:
Nuclear radiation is dangerous to living tissue, it can course cancer if exposure is continuous or for a long period of time. Within medical uses the patient is injected with the radioactive isotope, it is important that the dose is minimal and that low levels of radiation are emitted and therefore not remain long in the body. The radioactive isotope needs to have a very short-half life and is used to irradiate and kill cancer cells within the patient. The rays emitted have to be carefully targeted so that it doesn’t kill the surrounding healthy tissue.
Radioactive Waste:
Radioactive waste needs to be stored safely for long periods of time, often hundreds or even thousands of years. The waste is stored underground in stable geological structures which are not allowed to contaminate workplaces, or the natural environment. A waste storage material was discovered which is called Synroc.
