Before the use of technetium-99m, patients with high risk coronary artery disease were evaluated using thallium-201 which has a

half-life of 73.00 hours. If a person is exposed to 5.000 μg of thallium-201, how many hours would it take to reach 10.00 % of its original mass?

Answer: 243 hours

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = initial amount of the reactant = 5.000\mu g

a - x = amount left after decay process =  \frac{10}{100}\times 5.000\mu g=0.5\mu g

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{73.00hours}=9.49\times 10^{-3}hours^{-1}

b) for reducing the mass to 10.00 % of its original mass

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

t=\frac{2.303}{9.49\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{5.000}{0.5}

t=243hours

The time taken to reach 10.00 % of its original mass is 243 hours

The density of a rock that was a mass of 454 grams and a volume of 100 cm3
puteri [66]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>4.54 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of rock = 454 g

volume = 100 cm³

The density of the rock is

density =  \frac{454}{100}  =  \frac{227}{50}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.54 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

When the Sun provides heat energy to the water cycle it creates which of the following?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Evaporation

Explanation:

When the heat of the sun touches the water, the water molecules heat up and move gradually faster. Over time molecules start to pop out the surface of the water individually.

And then eventually all the water is evaporated into water vapor.

A flame in a sealed container will go out. Explain what you know about combustion reactions to explain why.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A combustion reaction is a reaction that involves a substance and oxygen reacts at high temperature and produces light energy and thermal energy and generate light and heat.

If a flame is in a sealed container it will go out due to the absence of oxygen to perform a combustion reaction that requires oxygen to produce heat and light. A flame is the result of a combustion reaction which also requires the oxygen to keep on burning.
