3.124mg of I-131 is present after 32.4 days.

The 131 I isotope emits radiation and particles and has an 8-day half-life. Orally administered, it concentrates in the thyroid, where the thyroid gland is destroyed by the particles.

What is Half life?

The time required for half of something to undergo a process: such as. a : the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated.

Half of the iodine-131 will still be present after 8.1 days.

The amount of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 additional days, for a total of 8.1+8.1=16.2 days, reaching (1/2)(1/2)=1/4 of the initial amount.

The quantity of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 more days, for a total of 16.2+8.1+8.1=32.4 days, to (1/4)(1/2)(1/2)=1/16 of the initial quantity.

If the original dose of iodine-131 was 50mg, the residual dose will be (50mg)*(1/16)=3.124mg after 32.4 days.

Approximately how many particles are in 3 moles
mash [69]

Answer:

18.066 × 10²³ particles

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 3 moles

Number of particles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 3 moles of substance:

One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ particles/ 1 mol = 18.066 × 10²³ particles

Calculate the molality of a solution prepared by dissolving 175 g of KNO3 in 750 g of water. (round to nearest hundreth)
Wittaler [7]
We will get the molality from this formula:
Molality = no.of moles of solute / Kg of solvent 

So first we need the no.of moles of KNO3 = the mass of KNO3 / molar mass of KNO3
no.of moles of KNO3 = 175 / 101.01 = 1.73 mol
By substitution in the molality formula:
∴ molality = 1.73 / (750/1000) = 2.3 Molal
