Describe two other “medicinal” uses for metals.

Chemistry
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

S + 6 HNO3 H2SO4 + 6 NO2 + 2 H2O
exis [7]

Answer:

              101.50 g H₂O

Explanation:

The mole ratio of HNO₃ and H₂O is 6 : 2

Hence, 16.9 moles of HNO₃ will produce = 2/6×16.9 = 5.63 moles of H₂O

Also,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 5.63 mol × 18.02 g/mol

Mass = 101.50 g H₂O

Identify three reasons why
BARSIC [14]
The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
