Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.
Step 2 : Set up ICE table
We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction
Following points are considered while drawing ICE table
- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0
- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products
- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation
The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as
Step 4 : Solving for x
Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9
Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table
81.9 =
81.9 =
Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get
x = 0.488 or x = 0.254
The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.
Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M
Hence, x = 0.254 M
From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x
The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M
Answer:
Here's what I find.
Explanation:
Iodine-131
Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.
About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.
The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.
Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.
Plutonium-239
Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.
Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.
However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.
It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
