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.

Approximately how many particles are in 2 moles?

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$1.2\times10^2^4$ particles in 2 moles.

Explanation:

The number of particles that are contained in one mole, the international unit of amount of substance: by definition, exactly 6.022×10²³, and it is dimensionless. It is named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

It is also known as Avogadro's constant.

∴ Number of particles in one mole = $6.022\times10^2^3$

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole = 2 times Number of particles in one mole

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole= $2\times6.022\times10^2^3=12.044\times10^2^3\approx1.2\times10^2^4$

Hence there are $1.2\times10^2^4$ particles in 2 moles.

What is the total number of hydrogen atoms contained in one molecule of (NH4)2C204?

Ber [7]

Answer:

=8 atoms

Explanation:

In (NH4)2C2O4 there are four moles of Hydrogen in the compound (NH4), but there two molecules of (NH4) in this compound. That's what the 2 in (NH4)2 means, so multiply 4 x 2 = 8.

Hope this helps (:

the following reaction gives a product with the molecular formula c4h8o2. draw the structure of the product.

grandymaker [24]

The following reaction gives a product with the molecular formula C₄H₈O₂. The diagram of the structure of the product can be seen in the image attached below.

The reaction between C₂H₂(ONa)₂ and C₂H₄Br results in the formation of the product C₄H₈O₂ and 2NaBr.

This reaction undergoes an SN₂ mechanism since there is no stable carbocation formed. In the reaction -O⁻Na⁺ attacks the ortho position in C₂H₄Br to form C₄H₈O₂.

In SN₂ mechanism is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where one bond is formed while another one is broken simultaneously.

The mechanism for the reaction can be seen in the image attached below.
