A likely application of a radioactive isotope with a short half-life such as Technetium-99 will be as a medical tracer. It will likely be used by a doctor to check the movement of substances within a person's body.

A radioactive isotope with such a long half-life like Rubidium-87 is likely used in the determination of the age of fossils and artifacts found by archaeologists.<span />

The answer is B. "A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and a geologist would use rubidium-87 because a longer half-life means that there is a longer time to measure old rock" on edg

What is the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(x¹,y¹), B(x²,y²)and C (x³,y³)??????????<br>​
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

Area = 2\ units^2

Explanation:

Given

A = (x_1,y_1)

B = (x_2,y_2)

C = (x_3,y_3)

Required

Determine the area

The area of a triangle is :

Area = \frac{1}{2}|A_x(B_y - C_y) + B_x(C_y - A_y) + C_x(A_y - B_y)|

By substituting values for the x and y coordinates of A, B and C;

We have:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

So:

For instance

A = (0,3)

B= (2,1)

C = (2,3)

The area is:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|0(1-3) + 2(3-3) + 2(3-1)|

Area = \frac{1}{2}| 2*0 + 2*2|

Area = \frac{1}{2}| 0 + 4|

Area = \frac{1}{2}|4|

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 4

Area = 2\ units^2

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.

A stock solution of sodium sulfate NaSO4 has a concentrate of 1.00 m. The volume of this solution is 50 ml. What volume of 0.25
mylen [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

200 mL

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Dilution formula

We are given;

  • Concentration of stock solution as 1.00 M
  • Volume of the stock solution as 50 mL
  • Molarity of the dilute solution as 0.25 M

We are required to calculate the volume of diluted solution;

  • The stock solution is the original solution before dilution while diluted solution is the solution after dilution.
  • Using the dilution formula we can determine the volume of diluted solution;

M1V1 = M2V2

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = M1V1 ÷ M2

     = (1.00 M × 50 mL) ÷ 0.25 M

     = 200 mL

Therefore, a volume of 200mL of 0.25 M solution could be made from the stock solution.
