The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

mass of calcium phosphate (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 125.3 grams

We know;

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = (40×3) + 3 (31 +(4×16))

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 120 + 3(95)

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} )  = 120 +285 = 405 grams

<em>We also know;</em>

No of molecules at STP conditions(N_{A}) = 6.023 × 10^23 molecules

To solve:

no of molecules present in the sample(N)

We know;

\frac{m}{M} =\frac{N} }{}N÷N_{A}

\frac{405}{125.3} =\frac{N}{6.023*10^23}

N =(405×6.023 × 10^23) ÷ 125.3

N = 19.3 × 10^23 molecules

<u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules</em></u>

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
