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.

PLEASE HELP!!!! 20 MINS LEFT IM DYING PLS HELP
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Kc = 0.20        

Explanation:

                  N₂O₄     ⇄    2NO₂

moles       5.3mol          2.3mol

Vol               5L                5L

Molarity    5.3/5M        2.3/5M

                = 1.06M     = 0.46M

Kc = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄] =  (0.46)²/(1.06) = 0.1996 ≅ 0.20

Mercury chloride is a commercial fungicide. If the molar mass is 470 g/mol and the percent composition is 85.0% Hg and 15.0% Cl,
ElenaW [278]
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol

Percent composition:

Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%

Solution:

1)  Convert % to molar ratios

A. Base: 100 g

=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol

     Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol

B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number

Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00

Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00

=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl

2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:

HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04

3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:

470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2

=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.

Answers:

Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
