What reading level is Radioactive Transformations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus one cubic millimetre of the emanation — the maximum amount released from one gram of radium — itself eraita heat at the rate of 25 gram calories per hour. Now the heating effect of the emanation falls off at the same rate as its activity. The total heat emission of the emanation during ibs life is given by QiX. The value of X, with the hour as the unit of time, is 1/132, and since § = 25, the total heat emitted by the emana- tion is 8800 gram calories. If we include with that of the emanat...ion the heating effects of its subsequent products, the total heat emitted from the emanation tube is alxjut three times this amount^ or 9900 gram calories. This corresponds to a vol- ume of the emanation of about one cubic millimetre. The total heat released from one cubic centimetre of the emanation and its products ia thus about ten million gram calories. Now in the union of hydrogen with oxygen to form water more heat is emitted, weight for weight, than in any other known chemical reaction.
