Answer: iodine - 131 is used to treat hyperthyroidism.

Explanation:

Iodine - 131, a radioactive iodine salt, is an important diagnostic tool and medical therapeutic tool used to treat hyperthyroidism due to nodules in thyroid gland or graves' diseases.

Iodine-131 is usually administered orally as a single dose. Once taken, it emits both beta and gamma radiation. The beta radiations (the active agent) kills the overactive thyroid cells. The Beta rays travel small distances, but not usually exiting from the body of such patient. While, the gamma radiation can travel long distances, existing from the patient's body which can affect people in such surroundings.

Iodine-131 alters iodine absorption mechanism in the thyroid glands.

It can also be used in diagnostic imaging techniques for neuroblastoma.

Chemical element that has atomic number less than 58 and atomic mass greater than 135.6
tatyana61 [14]

A chemical element that has an atomic number less than 58 and an atomic mass greater than 135.6m is barium (atomic no. 56 and atomic mass137.13 ) and lanthanum (atomic no. 57  and atomic mass 135.6).

<h3>Give a brief introduction about Barium and Lanthanum.</h3>
  • Barium

Barium is an element with the symbol Ba and atomic number 56. It is an alkaline earth metal that is soft and silvery, and it is the fifth element in group 2. Barium is never found in nature as a free element due to its extreme chemical reactivity. Oil well drilling fluid uses barium sulfate as an insoluble ingredient. It is employed as an X-ray radiocontrast agent in a purer form to image the human gastrointestinal tract. Barium compounds that dissolve in water have been employed as rodenticides despite being hazardous.

  • Lanthanum

Chemical element lanthanum has the atomic number 57 and the symbol La. It is a silvery-white, ductile, soft metal that slowly tarnishes when exposed to air. It serves as the eponym for the group of 15 related elements in the periodic table between lanthanum and lutetium, of which lanthanum is the first and prototype. The rare earth elements traditionally include lanthanum.

describe how a pure dry sample of solid lead carbonate can be obtained from sodium carbonate solution and lead nitrate solution
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Soluble salts can be made by reacting acids with soluble or insoluble reactants. Titration must be used if the reactants are soluble. Insoluble salts are made by precipitation reactions.

Making insoluble salts

An insoluble salt can be prepared by reacting two suitable solutions together to form a precipitate.

Determining suitable solutions

All nitrates and all sodium salts are soluble. This means a given precipitate XY can be produced by mixing together solutions of:

X nitrate

sodium Y

For example, to prepare a precipitate of calcium carbonate:

X = calcium and Y = carbonate

mix calcium nitrate solution and sodium carbonate solution together

calcium nitrate + sodium carbonate → sodium nitrate + calcium carbonate

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaNO3(aq) + CaCO3(s)

It also works if potassium carbonate solution or ammonium carbonate solution is used instead of sodium carbonate solution. Remember that all common potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.
