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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 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

A small motor does 4000 J of work in 20 s. What is the power of the motor in watts?
TEA [102]

Answer:

200 W

Explanation:

Formula of Power is

P= W/T

where

W= Work and T= Time

so

4000/20 = 200J/s or 200 W

Which of the following buffers will be most effective at pH 9.25? Group of answer choices a mixture of 1.0 M HC2H3O2 and 1.0 M N
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The most effective buffer at pH 9.25 will be  a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

pH of a buffer = pKa + log ([A-]/[Ha])

a mixture of 1.0 M HC2H3O2 and 1.0 M NaC2H3O2 (Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10-5)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5)

pH = 4.74

a mixture of 1.0 M NaCN and 1.0 M KCN (Ka for HCN = 4.9 x 10-10)

pH = -log( 4.9 * 10^-10) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5)

pH = 9.30

a mixture of 1.0 M HCl and 1.0 M NaCl

The solution made from NaCl and HCl will NOT act as a buffer.

HCl is a strong acid while NaCl is salt of strong acid and strong base which do not from buffer solutions hence due to HCl PH is less than 7.

a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl (Kb for ammonia = 1.76 x 10^-5)

Ka * Kb = 1*10^-14

Ka = 10^-14 / 1.76*10^-5

Ka = 5.68*10^-10

pH = -log( 5.68*10^-10) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 5.68*10^-10)

pH = 9.25

The most effective buffer at pH 9.25 will be  a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl

What are Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals called
Margaret [11]

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.

On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.

Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.
