1. In a nuclear reaction, the mass of the reactant is 236.05 atomic units, and the mass of the product is 235.86 atomic units.
(1 atomic mass unit = 1.667 × 10^-27 kg).
Calculate the energy released in the process.
2. The isotope radium -226 has a half-life of 1600 years and suppose you had 1000 grams of radium -226
(i) How much would be left 4800 years?
(ii) Why would it be more of a problem to dispose radium-226 than an isotope of the same mass with a half-life of 10 years?
