A pure sample of 226Ra contains 2.0  1014 atoms of the isotope. If the half-life of 226Ra = 1.6  103 years, what is the decay rate of this sample? (1 Ci = 3.7  1010 decays/s)

Question 2

How much kinetic energy must a deuterium ion (charge 1.6  10-19 C) have to approach to within 10-14 m of another deuterium ion? (1 MeV = 1.6  10-13 J)

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
