Why do the nuclides that are used as radiotracers have short half-lives?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flauer [41]4 years ago
4 0
Well Some radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine have short half-lives, which means they decay quickly and are suitable for diagnostic purposes; others with longer half-lives take more time to decay, which makes them suitable for therapeutic purposes

If .19 moles of sodium carbonate are dissolved in enough water to make .400 L of solution, what is the molarity?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

=0.475M

Explanation:

Molarity=(moles of solute))/(litres of solution)

So, molarity in this question:

=(0.19 moles of sodium carbonate)/(0.4 L of solution)

=0.475M

~Hope this helps:)

In basic solution, se2− and so32− ions react spontaneously and e o cell = 0.35 v. (a) write the balanced half-reactions for this
Annette [7]

(a)    Write balanced half-reactions for the process:

Oxidation: Se^2- (aq) → Se (s) + 2e-

Reduction: 2So3^2- (aq) + 3H2O (l) + 4e- → S2O3^2- + 6OH- (aq)

(b)   If E sulfite is 0.57 V, calculate E selenium:

E anode = E cathode – E cell

= -0.57 – 0.35

= -.092

A light strikes the boundary of a medium at a 45 degree angle. Instead of entering the second medium, the light reflects back in
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

D It must be equal to 1.00

Explanation:

The refraction in the second medium must be equal to 1. The refraction index is given as the ration of the angle of incidence to the angle of refraction. This is given as a fraction. In other words:

\frac{sin\theta _{i} }{sin\theta _{r} }  = n

where Θ₁ and Θ₂ are angles of incidence an refraction, and n is the refractive index.

At a critical angle, the refraction is equal to the reflection inside the medium. This results in a phenomenon called total internal reflection where light is reflected internally in the medium.

How is it possible for light to change genetic material?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

When light hits CRY2, it changes shape and binds to its natural partner protein, known as CIB1. When light shines on the cells, the CRY2 protein binds to CIB1, which is floating in the cell. CIB1 brings along a gene activator, which initiates transcription, or the copying of DNA into mRNA.
