Sodium-24 (atomic mass = 23.99096) decays by
beta emission. One of its uses is in the detection of leaks in
water pipes.
(a) Write a balanced nuclear reaction for the decay of Na-24.
(b) Calculate ∆m in grams when one mole of Na-24 decays.
(c) How much energy (in kJ) is given off by the decay of 10.00 mg
of Na-24?
