<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 7.2 × 10¹⁵ atoms Pb

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 7.2 \cdot 10^{15} \ atoms \ Pb(\frac{1 \ mol \ Pb}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pb})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 1.19562 \cdot 10^{-8} \ mol \ Pb$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

1.19562 × 10⁻⁸ mol Pb ≈ 1.2 × 10⁻⁸ mol Pb

A radioactive nuclide is used to detect eye tumors. An atom of this radionuclide contains 15 protons, 15 electrons, and

statuscvo [17]

Answer: ³²P

Explanation:

The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.

Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.
