Answer:

Please see "Explanation" for a description of how and why these two metals work in the medical field.

1. Platinum (Pt) is used in chemotherapy.

2. Nickel (Ni) used in medical tools and equipment.

Explanation:

Two chemotherapy agents contain the heavy metal Platinum. Those agents cause crosslinking in DNA, making it impossible for the dividing cancer cell to duplicate it's DNA, eventually leading to the death of that cancer cell. Platinum allows the DNA's bases to magnetically crosslink, and without platinum, there wouldn't be enough magnetic energy to cause this.

Nickel-containing stainless steel is also widely used in manufacturing medical devices, pharmaceuticals and vaccines, where the highest standards of hygiene and sterility are essential.

You have an aqueous solution of chromium(III) nitrate that you titrate with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. After a cer

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The precipitate was chromium hydroxide, which then reacted with more hydroxide to produce a soluble complex, Cr(OH)4

Explanation:

The following reaction takes place when chromium(III) nitrate reacts with NaOH:

$Cr(NO)_{3}$ +3 NaOH → $Cr(OH)_{3}$ (s)+ $NaNO_{3}$

The precipitate that is formed is chromium hydroxide, $Cr(OH)_{3}$

When more NaOH is added, the precipitate reacts with it which then results in the formation of a soluble complex ion:

$Cr(OH)_{3}$ (s) + $OH^{-}$ (aq) → $Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-}$ (aq)

$Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-}$ is soluble complex ion

A 1.25 g gas sample occupies 663 ml at 25∘ c and 1.00 atm. what is the molar mass of the gas?

lakkis [162]

Using ideal gas equation,

$P\times V=n\times R\times T$

Here,

P denotes pressure

V denotes volume

n denotes number of moles of gas

R denotes gas constant

T denotes temperature

The values at STP will be:

P=1 atm

T=25 C+273 K =298.15K

V=663 ml=0.663L

R=0.0821 atm L mol ⁻¹

Mass of gas given=1.25 g g

Molar mass of gas given=?

$Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{Given mass of the gas}{Molar mass of the gas}$

$Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{1.25}{Molar mass of the gas}$

Putting all the values in the above equation,

$1\times 0.663=\frac{1.25}{Molar mass of the gas}\times 0.0821\times 298.15$

Molar mass of the gas=46.15
