An aluminium pot contains water that is kept steadily boiling (100 °C). The bottom surface of the pot, which is 0.012 m thick and 1.5 x 10⁴ mm² in area, is maintained at a temperature of 102 °C by an electric heating unit. Find the rate at which heat is transferred through the bottom surface. Given k= 235 W.m^-1.K^-1

A radioactive isotope decays at a rate proportional to the amount of isotope present. If the concentration of isotope is C (mg l^-I), its rate of decay is:

A solution of the isotope ³²p is used to radioactively label DNA for hybridisation studies. The half-life of ³²p is 14.3 days. According to institutional safety requirements, the solution cannot be discarded until the activity is 1% its present value. How long will this take?____________________
