Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (also known as NORM) are a wide range of radioactive isotopes that include elements such as carbon 14 and potassium 40, both of which are in the human body. But the main radioactive elements involved in oil and gas production are those found throughout Earth's crust. These elements include uranium and thorium and their respective byproducts, including radon gas.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of 
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of 
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each 
ion.
Similarly, the superscript 
on each 
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
, and that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
.
.
There would thus be silver (
) atoms and aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for 
and 
would be 
and 
, respectively.
.
The ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of electrons. On the other hand, the 
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of 
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of electrons, the right-hand side should also be electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, 
.
The smallest integer and that could satisfy this relation are 
and 
. The equation becomes:
.
Answer:
The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies. Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen. The main cells of the immune system are lymphocytes known as B cells and T cells.
