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.

If 50 ml of 0.235 M NaCl solution is diluted to 200.0 ml what is the concentration of the diluted solution
Helen [10]

This is a straightforward dilution calculation that can be done using the equation

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where <em>M</em>₁ and <em>M</em>₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) molar concentrations of the solution, respectively, and <em>V</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) volumes of the solution, respectively.

Here, we have the initial concentration (<em>M</em>₁) and the initial (<em>V</em>₁) and final (<em>V</em>₂) volumes, and we want to find the final concentration (<em>M</em>₂), or the concentration of the solution after dilution. So, we can rearrange our equation to solve for <em>M</em>₂:

M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}.

Substituting in our values, we get

\[M_2=\frac{\left ( 50 \text{ mL} \right )\left ( 0.235 \text{ M} \right )}{\left ( 200.0 \text{ mL} \right )}= 0.05875 \text{ M}\].

So the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.05875 M. You can round that value if necessary according to the appropriate number of sig figs. Note that we don't have to convert our volumes from mL to L since their conversion factors would cancel out anyway; what's important is the ratio of the volumes, which would be the same whether they're presented in milliliters or liters.

Write the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction between h2so4 with naoh
Sedaia [141]
H2SO4 or hydrogen sulfate is an acid and NaOH or sodium hydroxide is a base or an alkali. The reaction between an acid and a base or alkali produces a salt and water. The reaction between these substances is shown below:
H2SO4 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq)------>2H20 (L) + Na2SO4 (aq). The salt produced in this reaction is sodium sulfate.

The table below compares the radioactive decay rates of two materials. Material Original mass of material (in grams) Mass of mat
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal.

step by step explanation;

Material 1 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 100g

to 12.5g. That is,

100g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g

Material 2 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 200g to 25g. That is,

200g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g.

This means that regardless of their initial masses involved, material 1 and material 2 have equal half-life.

Their half-life is 21.6 ÷ 3 = 7.2 sec
