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.

What properties of matter explain why the weight of an object on the moon is different than the weight of the same object on ear
algol13

Answer:

Gravity explains this.

Explanation:

Weights and mass are different terms .

Weight is defined as the force exerting on the surface due to the mass and gravity of acceleration.

W=m*g

Here mass is related to the density of the body. So as the density would be same mass woulnt vary.

Whereas the Gravity changes due to the property of the planet.

Gravity is different for different planets and hence moon and earth have two different values.

So the mass i.e density remains same on both planets but the g value always changes hence weight is different.

Can someone please help me with my science research I kind of need help in a few things that I listed, I’m currently working on
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

For your first question, Curium does not occur naturally on Earth, meaning that it is not produced naturally on Earth. However, it can be formed in nuclear reactors.

For your second question, Curium has been used to provide power to electrical equipment used on space missions, but doesn't seem to be that important overall.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!
