Why does the half-life of cancer treatment decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zimovet [89]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The decay of radioactive elements occurs at a fixed rate. The half-life of a radioisotope is the time required for one half of the amount of unstable material to degrade into a more stable material. For example, a source will have an intensity of 100% when new. At one half-life, its intensity will be cut into 50% of the original intensity.

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 47.37 grams of carbon, 10.59 grams of hydrogen, and 42.04 grams of oxyg
inysia [295]

Answer:

Mass of C = 47.37g

Mass of H = 10.59g

Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing through with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying through by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = Empirical formula

=(C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

why is a graduated cylinder most appropriate for measuring the volume of a liquid instead of a beaker ?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Graduated cylinders are designed for accurate measurements of liquids with a much smaller error than beakers. They are thinner than a beaker, have many more graduation marks, and are designed to be within 0.5-1% error. ... Therefore, this more precise relative of the beaker is just as critical to almost every laboratory.

A compound contains 24.27% C, 4.07% H and 71.65% Cl. The molar mass is about 99g.
Schach [20]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₂H₄Cl₂

Explanation:

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula consist of symbols of elements present in compound with numbers of atoms of each element in subscript.

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number .

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 4.07%

Percentage of Cl = 71.65%

Percentage of carbon = 24.27%

Molar mass = 99 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 4.07 / 1.01 = 4.0

Number of gram atoms of Cl = 71.65 / 35.5 = 2.0

Number of gram atoms of C = 24.27 / 12 = 2.0

Atomic ratio:

           H              :          C             :         Cl

          4/2            :        2/2            :       2/2

           2               :          1             :        1

C : H : Cl = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂Cl.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 12+1×2+ 35.5 = 49.5

n =  99/49.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₂Cl)

Molecular formula = C₂H₄Cl₂
