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

8090 [49]

Answer:

Plasma.

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states. The three (3) classical states of matter are;

I. Solid.

II. Liquid.

III. Gas

Plasma can be defined as a state of matter in which the electrons temporarily separate from the protons and as a result, it is generally referred to as the fourth (4th) state of matter due to its superheated nature.

When excess dilute hydrochloric acid was added to sodium sulphite 960 of sulphuric (iv) oxide was produced. calculate the mass o
irakobra [83]

The mass of sodium sulfite that was used will be 1,890 grams.

<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>

First, the equation of the reaction:

NaSO_3 + 2HCl --- > NaCl_2 + H_2O + SO_2

The mole ratio of SO2 produced and sodium sulfite that reacted is 1:1.

Mole of 960 grams SO2 = 960/64 = 15 moles

Equivalent mole of sodium sulfite that reacted = 15 moles

Mass of 15 moles sodium sulfite = 15 x 126 = 1,890 grams
