The isotope ""^(235)U decays by alpha emission with a half life of 7.0xx10^(8)y. It also decays (rarely) by spontaneous fission, and if the alpha decay did not occur, its half life due to spontaneous fission alone would be 3.0xx10^(17)y. (a) At what rate do spontaneous fission decays occurs in 1.0 g of ""^(235)U? (b) How many ""^(235)U alpha decay events are there for every spontaneous fission event? |
