Your answer sheet for Part A and Part B1 is the last page of this examination booklet. Turn to the last page and fold it along the perforations. Then, slowly and carefully, tear off your answer sheet and fill in the heading. The answers to the questions in Part B2 and Part C are to be written in your separate answer booklet. Be sure to fill in the heading on the front of your answer booklet. Record the number of your choice for each Part A and Part B1 multiple-choice question on your separate answer sheet. Write your answers to the Part B2 and Part C questions in your answer booklet. All work should be written in pen, except for graphs and drawings, which should be done in pencil. You may use scrap paper to work out the answers to the questions, but be sure to record all your answers on your separate answer sheet and in your answer booklet. When you have completed the examination, you must sign the statement printed at the end of your separate answer sheet, indicating that you had no unlawful knowledge of the questions or answers prior to the examination and that you have neither given nor received assistance in answering any of the questions during the examination.

Base your answers to questions 71 through 74 on the article below, the Reference Tables for Physical Setting/Chemistry, and your knowledge of chemistry. Radioactivity at home You may be surprised to learn that you do not need to visit a nuclear power plant or a hospital X-ray laboratory to find sources of radioactivity. They are all around us. In fact, it is likely that youll find a few at home. Your front porch may incorporate cinder blocks or granite blocks. Both contain uranium. Walk through the front door, look up, and youll see a smoke detector that owes its effectiveness to the constant source of alpha particle emissions from Americium-241. As long as the gases remain ionized within the shielded container, electricity flows, and all is calm. When smoke enters the chamber, it neutralizes the charges on these ions. In the absence of these ions, the circuit breaks and the alarm goes off. Indicator lights on your appliances may use Krypton-85; electric blankets, promethium147; and fluorescent lights, thorium-229. Even the food we eat is radioactive. The more potassium-rich the food source, the more potassium-40a radioactive isotope that makes up about 0.01% of the natural supply of this mineralis present. Thus, brazil nuts, peanuts, bananas, potatoes, and flour, all rich in potassium, are radiation sources. Chem Matters April 2000 71 Write the equation for the alpha decay that occurs in a smoke detector containing Americium-241 (Am-241). [2] 72 How is the radioactive decay of Krypton-85 different from the radioactive decay of Americium-241? [1] 73 State one benefit or useful application of radioactivity not mentioned in this article. [1] 74 State one risk or danger associated with radioactivity. [1]

Base your answers to questions 75 and 76 on the information below. Gypsum is a mineral that is used in the construction industry to make drywall (sheetrock). The chemical formula for this hydrated compound is CaSO4 2 H2O. A hydrated compound contains water molecules within its crystalline structure. Gypsum contains 2 moles of water for each 1 mole of calcium sulfate. 75 What is the gram formula mass of CaSO4 2 H2O? [1]
