Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?

Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.

V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3

Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":

9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)

= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.

A engineer measures the peak power output is 0.3227MW what is the peak power output in kilowatts ?
Lana71 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

322.7 kW

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Power refers to the rate at which work is done.
  • Therefore; Power = Work done ÷ time
  • It is measured in joules per seconds or Watts

In this case, we are required to convert 0.3227 MW to kilowatts

We need to know that;

  • 10^6 watts = 1 Megawatts(MW)
  • 10^3 Watts = 1 kilowatts (kW)

Therefore;

10^3 kW = 1 MW

Therefore, the suitable conversion factor is 10^3kW/MW

Hence;

0.3227 MW is equivalent to;

   = 0.3227 MW × 10^3kW/MW

   = 322.7 kW

Thus, the peak power output is 322.7 kW

What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

  • <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:

  • Compound formula: CaF₂

  • Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

  • Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

  • Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
