Iodine-123, which is used for diagnostic imaging in the thyroid, has a half-life of 13 hours. If 50.0 mg of I-123 were prepared

at 8:00 A.M. on Monday, how many mg remain at 10:00 A.M. on the following day

Answer: 12.5 mg

Explanation:

The half-life of Iodine -123 is 13 hours.

Between 8 am on Monday and 10 am on Tuesday will be 26 hours.

After the first 13 hours, the Iodine should be left with half of its initial quantity

= 50/2

= 25 mg

There are now 13 hours remaining meaning that the Iodine will be half of the 25mg after that period.

= 25/2

= 12.5 mg.

12.5 mg remain at 10 am the next day.

Where is nature can you find isomers? <br><br> 11 points!!!
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Isomers are defined as the molecules or polyatomic ions which have similar molecular formula but different in arrangements of atoms.

Isomers can be found  in food items carrying glucose (C6H12O6), galactose or fructose,  they all have the same chemical formula but differ structurally and chemically.

Glucose is found in vegetables and milk, galactose found in dairy products, and Fructose is found in fruit juices.

Which term refers to a universal fact sometimes based on mathematical equations?
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is a scientific law.

Explanation:

The laws of science or scientific laws refer to the statements, which predict or illustrate an array of natural processes. It is a statement based on observations or spontaneous experiments, which illustrate some characteristics of the natural world.  

The term law exhibits different uses in various circumstances, that is, across all the branches of natural science. The laws are formulated through data and can be further created via mathematics, in all the conditions, they are indirectly or directly based on empirical evidence. The scientific laws recapitulate the outcomes of observations or experiments, generally within some point of application.

The energy of a pendulum is recorded at different positions in the table below. Use the data in the table to determine the amoun
natta225 [31]

Answer:

36.55 J

Explanation:

PE = Potential energy

KE = Kinetic energy

TE = Total energy

The following data were obtained from the question:

Position >> PE >>>>> KE >>>>>> TE

1 >>>>>>>> 72.26 >> 27.74 >>>> 100

2 >>>>>>>> 63.45 >> x >>>>>>>> 100

3 >>>>>>>> 58.09 >> 41.91 >>>>> 100

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 can be obtained as follow:

From the table above, at position 2,

Potential energy (PE) = 63.45 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = unknown = x

Total energy (TE) = 100 J

TE = PE + KE

100 = 63.45 + x

Collect like terms

100 – 63.45 = x

x = 36.55 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 is 36.55 J.

A gas occupies 2.0 m3 at 100.0k and exerts a pressure of 100.0kPa. What volume will the gas occupy if the temperature is increas
Svetradugi [14.3K]
According to ideal gas equation, we know for 1 mole of gas: PV=RT
where P = pressure,  T = temperature, R = gas constant, V= volume
If '1' and '2' indicates initial and final experimental conditions, we have
\frac{P1V1}{P2V2} =  \frac{T1}{T2}

Given that: V1 = 100.0 kPa, T1 = 100.0 K, V1 = 2.0 m3, T2 = 400 K, P2 = 200.0 kPa

∴ on rearranging above eq., we get V2 = \frac{P1V1T2}{T1} =  \frac{100 X 2 X 400}{200X100}
∴ V2 = 4 m3
