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

Chemistry

Flauer [41]4 years ago

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

vodomira [7]

Answer:

pH = 4.543

Explanation:

  • CH3CH2COOH  + H2O ↔ CH3CH2COO-  +  H3O+
  • pKa = - Log Ka

∴ Ka = [H3O+][CH3CH2COO-]/[CH3CH2COOH]

∴ pKa = 4.87

⇒ Ka = 1.349 E-5 = [H3O+][CH3CH2COO-]/[CH3CH2COOH]

added 300 mL 0f 0.02 M NaOH:

⇒ <em>C</em> CH3CH2COOH = ((0.200 L)(0.15 M)) - ((0.300 L)(0.02 M))/(0.3 + 0.2)

⇒ <em>C</em> CH3CH2COOH = 0.048 M

⇒ <em>C</em> NaOH = (0.300 L)(0.02 M) / (0.3 +0.2) = 0.012 M

mass balance:

⇒ 0.048 + 0.012 = 0.06 M = [CH3CH2COO-] + [CH3CH2COOH].......(1)

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] + [Na+] = [CH3CH2COO-]

∴ [Na+] = 0.02 M

⇒ [CH3CH2COO-] = [H3O+] + 0.02 M.............(2)

(2) in (1):

⇒ [CH3CH2COOH] = 0.06 M - 0.02 M - [H3O+] = 0.04 M - [H3O+]

replacing in Ka:

⇒ 1.349 E-5 = [H3O+][([H3O+] + 0.02) / (0.04 - [H3O+])

⇒ (1.349 E-5)(0.04 - [H3O+]) = [H3O+]² + 0.02[H3O+]

⇒ 5.396 E-7 - 1.349 E-5[H3O+] = [H3O+]² + 0.02[H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+]² + 0.02001[H3O+] - 5.396 E-7 = 0

⇒ [H3O+ ] = 2.867 E-5 M

∴ pH = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ pH = 4.543
