Study Notes
Classification of Matter and Energy
- Macroscopic examples: Human body, grain of sand.
- Microscopic examples: Red blood cell.
- Atomic examples: DNA, virus.
- Potential energy examples: Hiker at mountain peak, sandwich.
- Kinetic energy examples: Water flowing over a dam, helium atoms in balloon.
Heat Transfer and Temperature
- Heat flows from Object B to Object A if A's temperature is initially lower than B's.
Metric System Basics
- Base unit abbreviations: mass (g), length (m), time (s), volume (L).
- Metric prefixes and their powers of ten: Nano (10^-9), Centi (10^-2), Milli (10^-3), Kilo (10^3), Micro (10^-6), Mega (10^6).
- Measurements: English units (e.g., feet, pounds) and metric units (e.g., kg, mL).
Measurement and Significant Figures
- Significant figures determine how precise a measurement is.
- Specific examples include various measurements having three significant figures (e.g., 395, 1.00×10^-3).
- Exact numbers: 2.54 cm (exact conversion), 4 choices (exact).
Volume and Density Calculations
- Volume of graduated cylinder measured to be 28.9 mL.
- Density calculations can identify unknown metal samples.
Medication Dosage and Conversions
- Dosage for cephalexin is 12.5 mg/kg/day; convert weight for dosage.
- The first calculation step involves converting pounds to kilograms.
- Calculate the amount of medication for a specific dosage, given patient weight.
Temperature Conversions
- Freezing point of water: 32°F, 0°C, 273 K.
- Temperature in different scales for various environments (e.g., Venus and Mercury).
States of Matter and Element Classification
- Elements include iodine, silicon, and lead.
- Compounds are identified by their chemical formulas such as CO and RbNO2.
Isotopes of Iron
- Four isotopes of iron with varying abundance: Iron-54 (least abundant), Iron-56 (most abundant).
- Atomic mass of iron (55.845 amu) is derived from the weighted average of isotopic masses.
Average Atomic Mass Calculations
- Carbon's average atomic mass calculated as 12.01 amu.
- Silicon's average atomic mass found to be 28.09 amu from its isotopes.
Periodic Table Positioning
- Element symbols from given periodic table positions include Gallium (Ga), Hafnium (Hf), Potassium (K), Bromine (Br), and Silver (Ag).
Nonmetals Identification
- Nonmetals from the list: Iodine, Selenium, Carbon.### Properties of Metals and Nonmetals
- Metals are characterized as shiny, ductile, malleable, excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and possess high melting points.
- Nonmetals generally appear dull, are brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and have low melting points.
Alpha Decay
- The nucleus produced from the alpha decay of Polonium-210 (²¹⁰Po) is Lead-206 (²⁰⁶Pb), which has an atomic number of 82.
Hypothyroidism and I-131 Treatment
- Hypothyroidism affects 1-3% of the U.S. population; a common treatment is radioactive iodine ablation using I-131.
- I-131 undergoes both beta and gamma decay, with a half-life of 8 days, primarily targeting overactive thyroid cells.
- Airport scanners can detect radioactivity, with the minimum detectable level being 312.5 µCi.
- A dose of I-131 that starts at 40.0 µCi will take several days to decay below the scanner's detection threshold.
- The half-life of I-131 is crucial for calculating the time required to reduce radioactivity below 312.5 µCi.
Radioactive Decay of Iron-59
- Iron-59 is used in medical applications to study iron metabolism with a half-life of 44 days.
- To decay a 28.0 g sample of Iron-59 to 3.50 g takes approximately 132 days.
Radioactive Substance Half-lives
- An unknown radioactive substance with an initial mass of 681.0 ng decreased to 85.13 ng after 47 days, indicating that 3 half-lives have occurred.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- Types of radiation arranged from longest to shortest wavelength:
- Radio waves
- Microwaves
- Infrared
- Visible light
- Ultraviolet
- X-rays
- Gamma rays
- Forms of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy:
- Gamma rays
- X-rays
- Ultraviolet
- Visible light
- Infrared
- Microwaves
- Radio waves
Radiation Therapy and Cancer Risk
- Radiation therapy may increase the risk of cancer recurrence due to potential DNA damage in normal cells.
Comparison with Visible Light
- The microwave region has lower wavelengths and frequencies compared to visible light.
Penetrating Ability of Radiation
- Gamma radiation possesses the greatest penetrating ability among different types of radiation.
Radiation Exposure Classification
- Acute exposure examples include unprotected handling of alpha emitters, cancer patients undergoing treatment, and individuals near nuclear incidents.
- Chronic exposure examples include hospital workers regularly conducting CT scans.
Internal Radiation Sources
- Alpha radiation is deemed the most harmful type when emitted from an internal source affecting the body.
