In the early 1990s, fusion involving hydrogen dissolved in
palladium at room temperature, or cold fusion, was proposed as a
new source of energy. This process relies on the diffusion of H2
into palladium. The diffusion of hydrogen gas through a
0.005-cm-thick piece of palladium foil with a cross section of
0.780 cm2 is measured. On one side of the foil, a volume of gas
maintained at 298 K and 1 atm is applied, while a vacuum is applied
to...

If cold is not a sterilizing procedure, why is radiation
sometimes referred to as “cold sterilization”?
Do you think irradiated food should be labeled? Explain your
reasoning.
Research the use of copper as microbial control agent.
If you could only choose one chemical agent to use in your
home, which would you choose and why? Why would you not choose some
of the other choices?
