SashulF [63]4 years ago

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. Diagnostic procedures using radioisotopes are now routine.

Radiotherapy can be used to treat some medical conditions, especially cancer, using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells.

Over 40 million nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year, and demand for radioisotopes is increasing at up to 5% annually.

Sterilization of medical equipment is also an important use of radioisotopes.

I really hope this answer helps you out! It makes my day helping people like you and giving back to the community that has helped me through school! If you could do me a favor, if this helped you and this is the very best answer and you understand that all of my answers are legit and top notch. Please mark as brainliest!

The two products that are formed when a solution of HNO3 and a solution of NaOH react are water and?
Naily [24]

Answer:

NaNO3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the required reaction is an acid-base neutralization reaction which is said to be:

HNO_3+NaOH\rightarrow NaNO_3+H_2O

There, we see that the sodium displaced the hydrogen in the nitric acid to form sodium nitrate a very used salt in the industry, so, as a result of that displacement, water is formed as the secondary neutralization product. For the above mentioned, answer is NaNO3 .

Best regards.

propane is a hydrocarbon, a compound composed only of carbon and hydrogen. it is 81.82% carbon and 18.18% hydrogen. what is the
scoundrel [369]

Firstly need to determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon. Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of components of the compound. Molecular formula  is the actual composition of the components in the compound.

percentage of C - 82.66%

percentage of H - (100-82.66) = 17.34 %

in 100 g of compound ;

mass of C - 82.66 g

mass of H - 17.34 g

                                 C                               H

mass in 100 g        82.66 g                      17.34 g

molar mass           12 g/mol                      1 g/mol

number of moles    6.88 mol                     17.34 mol

(mass/molar mass)

divide the number of moles by least number of moles (6.88 mol)

                               6.88 mol/6.88             17.34/6.88

                                1                                 2.52

multiply these by 2 to get a whole number 

C - 1x 2 = 2

H - 2.52 x 2 = 5.04

round off to nearest whole number 

C - 2

H - 5

ratio of C to H is 2:5

empirical formula - C₂H₅

empirical formula mass = 12 g/mol x 2 + 5 * 1 g/mol = 29 g

next have to find how many empirical units are there in the molecular unit 

molecular unit mass = 58.12 g

empirical unit = 29 g

then number of empirical units = 58.12 / 29 = 2

rounded off , number of empirical units = 2

(C₂H₅) * 2 units

molecular formula = C₄H₁₀
