HW Chemical Dose Week 7
1. Calculate the dose rate and the absorbed dose for the Fricke
dosimetric solution that was irradiated with Co-60 source during 3
hrs. The absorbance of the irradiated dosimetric solution (Fe3+),
measured with UV/Vis-spectrophotometer in 1 cm cuvettes at the
wavelength =304 nm, increased from 0.01 (initial) to 0.203
(irradiated). The molar absorptivity of ferric ions for this
wavelength is ε304 = 2187 L mol1cm1, the density of the
dosimetric solution is ρ=1.024 g/mL, and the tabulated radiation
chemical yield for gamma source 60Co is 1.6 µmol J1.

2. Calculate the dose rate and the absorbed dose for the ceric
sulfate dosimetric solution that was irradiated with Co-60 source
during 3 hrs. The absorbance of the irradiated dosimetric solution
(Ce4+), measured with UV/Vis-spectrophotometer in 1 cm
cuvettes at the wavelength =320 nm, decreased from 1.01 (initial)
to 0.21 (irradiated). The molar absorptivity of ceric ions for this
wavelength is ε320 = 561 L mol1cm1, density of the dosimetric
solution is ρ=1.025 g/mL and the G value for the cerous-ion yield is
2.3 molecules/100 eV for the gamma source 60Co.
3. Estimate the effect of alpha-autoradiolysis in the acidic aqueous
solution of 239Pu with concentration of 0.03 mol/L of 239Pu:
a) Considering the half-life T1/2=24111 y (=7.60364×1011 sec) and
the alpha energy of 5.24 MeV, what is the weekly dose absorbed in
How Nurse Leaders Can Address Burnout Among Nurses
How Nurse Leaders Can Address Burnout Among Nurses Burnout is a work-related stress syndrome that affects many nurses, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Burnout can have negative consequences for nurses’ health, well-being, quality of care, and patient safety. Therefore, it is essential for nurse […]
