Abstract:
The relative INAA method under statistical control was used to measure the concentrations of Sb, La, Eu, Co, Rb, Tb, Cs, Hf, Th, Cr, Lu, Yb, Ce, Sm, Gd, Nd. Rare earth element (REE) Chondrite-normalized patterns are presented. The La(cond)/Lu(cond) normalized concentration ratios obtained confirm the carbonaceous character of the rocks.

02:41Constant Volume Calorimetry
Calorimeters are useful to determine the heat released or absorbed by a chemical reaction. Coffee cup calorimeters are designed to operate at constant (atmospheric) pressure and are convenient to measure heat flow (or enthalpy change) accompanying processes that occur in solution at constant pressure. A different type of calorimeter that operates at constant volume, colloquially known as a bomb calorimeter, is used to measure the energy produced by reactions that yield large amounts of heat and...
03:20Nuclear Transmutation
Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one nuclide into another. It can occur by the radioactive decay of a nucleus, or the reaction of a nucleus with another particle. The first manmade nucleus was produced in Ernest Rutherford’s laboratory in 1919 by a transmutation reaction, the bombardment of one type of nuclei with other nuclei or with neutrons. Rutherford bombarded nitrogen-14 atoms with high-speed α particles from a natural radioactive isotope of radium and observed protons being...
