Where can tritium light sources be acquired?

Tritium lighting is made using glass tubes with a phosphor layer in them and tritium (a hydrogen isotope) gas inside the tube. Such a tube is known as a "gaseous tritium light source" (GTLS). Because tritium in particular is an integral part of thermonuclear devices (though in quantities several thousand times larger than that in a keychain), devices containing tritium are considered dual-use technology in the U.S.A., and are therefore illegal for export. However, they are widely available in the U.K., most of Europe (some countries like Belgium have outlawed them however), Asia and Australia. Tritium devices can be purchased in the UK and Australia, but are illegal for import to the United States, however they are available in the US as gunsights and for military applications.

They have a limited stock, though.

Find the mass defect and the binding energy for tritium if the atomic mass of tritium is 3.016049?

To find the mass defect, subtract the atomic mass of tritium (3.016049) from the sum of the masses of the individual particles (3 protons and 2 neutrons). To find the binding energy, use Einstein's equation E=mc^2, where m is the mass defect calculated earlier.

The first-order rate constant for the decay of the radioactive isotope tritium is 0.056 year-1 What fraction of the tritium initially in a sample is still present 50 years later?

To calculate the fraction of tritium remaining after 50 years, you would use the formula: fraction remaining = e^(-kt), where k is the rate constant and t is the time. Plugging in the values, you would find that the fraction of tritium remaining after 50 years is approximately 0.606 or 60.6%.
