Radium heat capacity

The long-lived isotope of radium, Ra, decays hy alpha particle emission to its daughter radon, Rn, with a half-life of 1622 years. The energy of the alpha particle is 4.79 MeV. Suppose 1.00 g of Ra, freed of all its radioactive progeny, were placed in a calorimeter that contained 10.0 g of water, initially at 25°C. Neglecting the heat capacity of the calorimeter and heat loss to the surroundings, calculate the temperature the water would reach after 1.00 hour. Take the specific heat of water to be 4.18 J g. ... [Pg.823]
