How is the radioisotope tritium used?

as boost gas in hollow core variable yield fission bombswith deuterium as fuel for cryogenic liquid fueled fusion bombswith deuterium as boost gas mix in sealed hollow core high efficiency fission bombs or fission triggers for fusion bombsin electric pulse neutron sourcesas a radioisotope tracer for hydrogen in moleculesin sealed ampules in some "glow in the dark" watches and instruments to make a phosphor glow so the display is visible (sort of a "safer" replacement for radium)in neon lamps and signs to help them start faster and more consistentlyetc.


Why is tritium illegal in the us?

Tritium is not illegal in the US, but as with other radioisotopes it is regulated. It has many legal uses:radiochemical tracertiny amounts are used in neon lamps and signs to help them start faster and more reliablysealed ampules are used to make a phosphor glow to light watch and instrument dials ("safer" replacement for radium)electric activated neutron sources (used in petroleum and other industries)etc.


If your watch loses six minutes every hour and you set your watch at 600 am what time is it if your watch says 1245?

your watch talks something my watch doesn't dang it


Would a magnet effect a watch?

It depends on the watch and the magnet. If the magnet isn't strong enough, (and it probably wont take much) then it wont. Or, if the watch is made differently, it will not destroy it. Other then that, watch+magnet= bad watch .


Can you measure a watch in decimeters?

Yes you can measure a watch in decimeters.

Where is a place to wear a watch?

Usually on your wrist, but people wear watch chains on their belts or in their pockets for pocket watches, they make keychain watches, armband watches, and even finger/ring watches.

What are the key features of the ArmourLite Shatterproof Tritium watches?

Key features of the ArmourLite Shatterproof Tritium watches include shatterproof glass that is almost 10 times stronger than many other watches. Tritium gas ensures that the markers of each watch will remain continuously illuminated for over 20 years. One can find out more information on these watches via the official ArmourLite website.


What watch is most durable?

Luminox makes the watch that is used by the navy seals, if its good enough for them, im sure it will last a long time.


Can atoms of an element contain different numbers of neutrons?

Absolutely. Atoms with varying neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Hydrogen has three isotopes. The first, most common is plain old hydrogen one. Heavy water is formed from deuterium, or hydrogen 2 (one proton, one neutron). Tritium (H3) is used in exit signs and watch face dials because it is radioactive, decaying by beta particle emission into helium 3. Carbon 14 is an unstable isotope of carbon 12, with a half life of about 5700 years. Uranium 235 is the isotope of uranium used to produce fissile nuclear weapons.


Is the child locator GPS easy to use?

After reviewing two different models of child locator GPS units I find the units to be very user friendly. The watch unit (http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/child-locator.html) can be tracked via text or web portal. The teddy bear and keychain model (http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/cl-103-brown.html) automatically sounds an alarm when the teddy bear and keychain units are too far apart.

How many moles of water are made from complete reaction of 1.4 moles of hydrogen gas?

The balanced equation for the synthesis of water from hydrogen and oxygen is: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O. If you have 1.4 moles of hydrogen, you will produce 1.4 moles of water because the molar ratio of hydrogen to water in this reaction is 2:2, which is the same as 1:1, which is the same as 1.4:1.4.
