Why are isotopes that have relatively short half lives the only ones used in medical diagnostic tests?

Radioactivity is generally bad for the cells of the body, because they may get ionised by it, which means that damage will get caused to them so that they may die. Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells.

How many grams of the molecule glucose C6H12O6 would be required to make 1 L of a 0.5 M solution of the molecule?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

90g

Explanation:

We need to find the molar mass of C6H12O6. This is done below:

MM of C6H12O6 = (12x6) + (12x1) + (6x16) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180g/mol

From the question, we obtained:

Volume = 1L

Molarity = 0.5M

Number of mole = Molarity x Volume

Number of mole = 0.5 x 1 = 0.5mol

Mass conc of C6H12O6 = number of mole x MM = 0.5 x 180 = 90g

If i initially have a gas with a pressure of 84 kpa and a temperature of 350 c and i heat it an additional 230 degrees, what wil
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

67.824

Explanation:  You want to use the combined gas law equation (P1*V1)/(n1*T1)=(P2*V2)/(n2*T2). So first cross out what remains constant, so volume(V) and I assume moles (since it was not mentioned as a change). Then you can solve algebraically for the answer!

Hope this helped!
