Causing atoms of one element to become a different element

Reference no: EM13540483

Nuclear transmutation (causing atoms of one element to become a different element) is possible using currently-available technology. Suppose you check metals prices and decide to try converting osmium into iridium, and that each atom transmuted requires approximately of energy. How much money can you expect to make (or lose) when using electricity to convert 5.00g osmium into iridium at today’s prices?

HINT: Information from a periodic table may prove important, as will Avogadro’s number.
