2 Radioactivity & Half-life
The amount of time it takes for a radioactvity sample to decay to half its original mass is called half-life Practice. A sample of plutonium has a half-life of 20 years and activity level of 4 curies. After how many years will the activity level of this sample be 0.5 curie?

3 Activity Level Time Half-Lives

4 Practice. A sample of radioactive material has a half-life of 30 years and activity level of 10 curies. After how many years will the activity level of this sample be 1.25 curies?

5 Which country uses the most hydroelectric power? Why?

6 Hydrogen Fuel Cells: How is the hydrogen produced that is used for hydrogen fuel cells?
ELECTROLYSIS – using electricity to drive a nonspontaneous reaction (in this case it produces hydrogen gas)

7 Nuclear Reactor
