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.

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?
Arturiano [62]
<span>There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective. Some of the arguments for leaving it include: *When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes. *If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water. *Removing it can expose people to arsenic *It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people *Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard *Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water Some of the arguments for removing it include: *The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood *If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health. A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.</span>

Help me plsss
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

8.34

Explanation:

1) how much moles of NH₃ are in the reaction;

2) how much moles of H₂ are in the reaction;

3)  the required mass of the H₂.

all the details are in the attachment; the answer is marked with red colour.

Note1: M(NH₃) - molar mass of the NH₃, constant; M(H₂) - the molar mass of the H₂, constant; ν(NH₃) - quantity of NH₃; ν(H₂) - quantity of H₂.

Note2: the suggested solution is not the shortest one.

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?
Olegator [25]
I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.
