I calculated that 17 grams. But I'm half asleep and didn't bother to actually write anything down on paper, so I might be totally wrong there.

48Ca has other uses. In geochemistry 48Ca (usually along with 42Ca) it is used in Ca isotope "double spikes" for obtaining high precision measurements of calcium isotope ratios. In medical research it is used as a tracer for studying calcium metabolism. Another interesting feature of 48Ca is that it actually is very slightly radioactive, transforming to 48Ti by double beta decay with a half life of something like 6x10^19 years.

Your passion for the field and for teaching is truly inspiring.

The same thing that would happen if you ate the same amount of egg shells or antacids.... not much. The calcium carbonate would react with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach and neutralize some of it (creating some water and CO2 in the process) , thus reducing the stomach's acidity. then it'd go into the intestines and some of it would be absorbed and used like regular calcium. You'd end up with a strange proportion of calcium isotopes in your body, but that would have no health effects at all.

The professor gave the reason. Calcium doesn't have a gaseous compound, so it can't be separated in a centrifuge. Uranium does have a compound that is a gas, so it can. However, in some ways the separation uses the same principles, but using a magnet. The calcium is effectively gasified by turning it into ions in a vacuum chamber.

Hey Brady, I love your work here and on numberphile I think you always ask good questions. Professor Poliakoff, you have an outstanding mind and I love learning from these videos. This may be silly, but if a substance like water is put into a vacuum chamber then the water will freeze, right? But when I think of atoms and molecules in a vaccum I would picture them expanding away from each other into the open space around them forming a gas. I guess I don't understand because I have difficulty imagining it happen any other way.

They could, but it is more designed to collide individual particles rather than particles with a target. Also the detector is designed to look at the resulting shower of exotic particles that escape after two particles hit each other with 12TeV of kinetic energy. I'm sure it could handle the calcium, but larger particles like californium might be a bit tricky to use...

@lcbp2009

@Eivilcow: No they can't aside from the size which is hundred times bigger than a hadron, you also need a charged particle so that the magnet can bend the trajectory of the particle. So an atom is out of the question, an ion maybe... edit: actually an ion is ok, the ALICE experiment is an ion collider, although atom is still out of question.
