5 0

Answer:

Radioactive isotopes are widely used in medical field

Explanation:

Radioactive isotopes are widely used in medical field.

Radiations emitted by radioactive isotopes or used to kill the microorganism in food and to increase the shelf life of food.

Cobalt-60 is used to treat the cancer.

Iodine-131 is used to check the activity of thyroid.

Technetium-99 also used for the thyroid.

Phosphorus-32 is used to detect the cancer specially in skin and eyes.

Xenon-133 is used for lungs imaging.

Au-198 is used to diagnose the liver disease.

Co-60 is used as gamma ray irradiation of tumor.

In industry radioactive isotopes are used to measure the thickness of materials.

116.6 x 10^{ -3} is the volume of methane contained in 2.50 L of a saturated solution at 25 ∘C that was extracted and placed under STP conditions.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates to the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

The solubility of methane in water at 25 degrees Celcius is 1.3 x 10^{ -3} M. It implies   1.3 x 10^{ -3} moles of methane are dissolved in one litre of water.

The number of moles of methane in 4 L of water can be calculated as follows:

Moles of methane = \frac{1.3 . 10^{ -3} }{1L} x\frac{4L}{1L}

Moles of methane = 5.2 x 10^{ -3}

STP refers to standard temperature and pressure. Under STP conditions, the temperature of the substance is  0 degrees celcius and its pressure is 1 atm.

An ideal gas is an imaginary gas comprising of a large number of randomly moving particles and the motion between such articles is considered to be perfectly elastic. The ideal gas equation describes the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles of a gas.

The expression for ideal gas equation is as follows:

PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.

Given data:

P= 1 atm

V= ?

R= 0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1}

T=273K

n=?

Putting value in the given equation:

\frac{PV}{RT}=n

5.2 x 10^{ -3} = \frac{1 \;atm\; X \;V}{0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1} X 273}

V= 116.6 x 10^{ -3}

Hence, 116.6 x 10^{ -3} is the volume of methane contained in 2.50 L of a saturated solution at 25 ∘C was extracted and placed under STP conditions.

As a science major, you are assigned to the "Atomic Dorm" at college. The first floor has one suite with one bedroom that has a
lidiya [134]

Explanation:

A.

The first student will be on the lower bunk on the first floor because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available.

B.

7 students are in the TOP bunks because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available. Therefore, all the rooms up till the third floor (Remember, third floor has 3 suites), so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, 2 floor is filled- 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite is filled - 1 person and the second suite is a little partially filled- 1 person.

C.

Following the criteria 1, 2 and 3, the 21st student occupies the third suite on the third floor because all the floors (1 and 2) are occupied so the third suite on the third floor is still vacant.

D.

From the criteria there are therefore 10 persons at the TOP bunk. All the rooms up till the third floor are filled, so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, second floor is filled (2 suites) - 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite and second suite is filled - 4 persons; the thirs suite has 6 persons present so 1 person is at the top bunk.

When a piece of metal is irradiated with UV radiation (λ = 162 nm), electrons are ejected with a kinetic energy of 3.54×10-19 J.
dsp73

We have that the work function of the metal

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J

From the Question we are told that

UV radiation (λ = 162 nm)

Kinetic energy K.E =3.54*10-19 J.

Generally the equation for Kinetic energy    is mathematically given as

KE =\frac{hc}{\pi-\phi} \\\\\phi =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} * 3*10^8}{162*10^{-9} -3.54*10^{-19}}

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J
