Uses for radioactive tracers is to look for flaws in metal objects and are also used by doctors to x-ray images to look at your bones.

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻ = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5

There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.
