Problm 3 (Latvia) Quantum organic chmistry ( points) β Carotn is an organic compound that is classifid as a trpnoid. It is a strongly colord rd orang pigmnt, abundant in plants and fruits. As a carotn with bta rings at both nds, it is th most common form of carotn. It is a prcursor ( inactiv form) of vitamin A. β Carotn contains a conjugatd chain of carbon atoms with an avrag intrnuclar sparation of 1 ppm. Th π lctrons in this conjugatd chain ar dlocalizd and, to a rough approximation, thy can b considrd to b particls in a on dimnsional box of 3.17 nm (that is x1 pm)lngth. Each carbon atom contributs to on π lctron. 3
1.. Calculat th diffrnc in nrgy btwn th highst occupid π lctron nrgy lvl (HOMO) and th lowst unoccupid lvl (LUMO). Calculat th wavlngth of radiation that would b absorbd in producing a transition btwn ths two stats. Problm (Estonia) Chmistry of points) radioactiv particls (8 Part 1 Radioactiv dcay quations Radioactiv dcays ar classifid by ruls of Fajans and Soddy into two groups: α and β dcays: A A- X Y A A X Y Y 1-1 H α dcay, β dcay, A X A 1 Y 1 β dcay. Complt following quations and, if it is possibl, dtrmin th typ of radioactiv dcay. 1 n -1 99 3 Tc 8Pb H 8 B H 113 8 Cd -1 6 81Tl 6 C 1 1 7 N 19 53 I - 1 1 83Bi 6 81 Tl 19K -1 1 6 Nd H 86Rn 18 8 Po 68 31Ga 68 3 Y 18 6 Sm 1 Nd 6 6 88Ra Part Masuring radioactivity For masuring activity of radioactiv particls SI masurmnt units, bcqurls (Bq), ar usd. On bqurl corrsponds to on dps (dcay pr scond). Masurmn nt units as dpm (dcays pr minut), Bq/kg or Bq/mL ar drivd from Bq that way to show th numbr of dcays pr mass or volum of radioactiv matrial. Bsids SI units non Si unit, curi (Ci), is also usd for dscribing radioactivity. On curi is qual to 3.7 1 1 Bq and originally it was dfind as activity of 1. grams of radium 6. 1) Calculat half lif of 6 Ra (in yars) using dfinition of curium. Latr, half lif of radium 6 was dtrmind mor prcisly and it appard to b T ½ = 16 yars, but masurmnt unit Ci was not changd and it is still bing usd for approximat calculations. ) Calculat mass or radium which has activity of 1 Ci.
Radium was discovrd in 19 by Pirr Curi and Mari Sklodowska Curi. From 8 tons of uranium or wast thy obtaind 1 mg of radium chlorid. 3) Calculat activity of obtaind radium chlorid in Bq pr kilogram (Bq/kg). In 197 Mari Curi giftd 1. g of radium to Institut of Radium in Paris (now Institut of Curi), whr it is still kpt nowadays. ) Calculat amount of radium (in mols) which was not dcomposd in th tim priod from 197 to1. 5) Calculat mass of radium (in g) dcomposd in this tim priod. 6) Calculat in what yar practically all radium will b dcomposd (99.99%). Part 3 Equipmnt for masuring radioactivity Radioactivity of particls is masurd by spcial quipmnt. Not all masuring dvics ar up to dat so it is vry hard to dtrmin th corrct valu of radioactivity. With th aim to improv radioactivity masurmnt, instrumnts ar calibratd using spcially prpard spcimns. 35 Such matrial is 16 S (T ½ = 87.9 days) with initial radioactivity.1 μci. In days, radioactivity of this matrial, dtrmind by Gigr countr, dcrass to 6 dcm. 35 1) Calculat actual radioactivity that 16 S will hav in days (in Bq). ) Calculat snsitivity of Gigr countr (in %). 3) Calculat radioactivity valu dtrmind by this Gigr countr aftr 7 days for 1 mg 51 Cr sampl (T ½ = 7.8 days). ) Calculat mass fraction of 51 Cr in obtaind sampl (aftr 7 days). Part Dangrousnss of radioactiv lmnts At th momnt of Earth formation, radioactiv lmnts wr part of svral chmical compounds. Som scintists associat high tmpraturs in Earth cor with th radioactiv hat. Existnc of radioactiv lmnts with long half lifs (for xampl: uranium 38.5. 1 9 yars; thorium 3 1.. 1 1 yars; potassium 1.8. 1 9 yars; rubidium 87 6.75. 1 1 tc.) is supporting this statmnt. Othr lmnts with shortr half lifs ar formd at dcay of uranium 38, thorium 3, and uranium 35. Radium, polonium, and radon ar among thos nwly formd lmnts. Du to ffct of diffrnt wavs from univrs on th Earth atmosphr, radioactiv carbon 1 C (T ½ = 57 yars) and tritium 3 H (T ½ = 1. yars) ar formd. Radioactiv background xists at all tims, and is formd from both natural and man mad radionuclids. For xampl, contnts of radioactiv isotop of potassium K (T ½ = 1.75 1 6 yars) in natur is qual to.117%. All othr isotops of potassium ar stabl. 1) Calculat radioactivity of mtallic potassium (m = g), found in school laboratory. ) Stat at last two rasons why potassium from school laboratory is considrd to b saf. Espcially dangrous isotop is strontium 9, which rplacs calcium in liv organisms and accumulats in bons. 3) Explain why strontium 9 is so dangrous, nam two illnsss causd by radioactiv strontium. As a fact, cigartt contains from 3 to mbq of 1 Po. Aftr ntring human organism, most part of 1 Po accumulats in bons, tth, and also in kidnys and livr. ) Calculat tim that is rquird for complt (99.99%) dcomposition of 1 Po (T ½ = 138. days) aftr smoking on cigartt. 5
