6. The sun radiates 3.9 x 1023 J of energy into space every second.
What is the rate at which mass is lost from the sun?
Fusion occurs on the sun – fusion is the combining of 2 small
nuclei into 1 nucleus – a small amount of matter is converted to E
due to making a strong force in the nucleus

7. A freshly isolated sample of 90Y was found to have an activity of 9.8×105
disintegrations per minute at 1:00 pm on December 3, 2000. At 2:15 pm on
December 17, 2000, its activity was re-determined and found to be 2.6×104
disintegrations per minute. Calculate the half-life of 90Y in hrs.
t1/2 = 0.693/k
you can get k from the integrated rate law ⇒ ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]o
since you’re not given [A] and [A]o you can substitute in ⇒ rate = k[A]
ln(rate/k) = -kt + ln(rateo/k)

Assume that no lead was present in the original rock.
If the final rock has 0.688 mg of 206Pb and 1 mg of 238U then the original rock
must have had 1.688 mg of 238U. Using ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 and t1/2 = 0.693/t

11. A positron and an electron annihilate each other upon colliding,
thereby producing energy in the form of 2 photons. Calculate
the wavelength of the light produced.
(mass of an electron = 9.10939 x10-31kg)
Annihilation ⇒ Conversion of all mass into energy when matter and
antimatter collide −10𝑒 + +10𝑒  2 00γ
Since the mass of an electron and a positron are the same then the energy of
the 2 photons are the same
ΔE = Δmc2
ΔE = (0 kg - 9.10939x10-31kg)(3x108 m/s)2
ΔE = - 8.2x10-14J
λ = hc/E = (6.626x10-34J)(3x108 m/s)/(8.2x10-14J) ⇒ λ = 2.42x10-12m
