The most common use of radioisotopes in medicine is for diagnosis of illness. true or false

Chemistry
1 answer:
laiz [17]3 years ago
6 0

The answer is true. They are used as tracer elements where they are introduced into the body of a patient and the uptake of the radioactive isotopes by particular tissues is followed. This differential uptake of the isotopes by tissues results to diagnosis of a particular disorder or illness in the body.

Two gas-filled tanks have the same volume, temperature, and pressure. They are identical in every way except that one is filled
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The tank with O₂ weighs more.

Explanation:

We can find the mass of gas using the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T=\frac{m}{M} .R.T\\m=\frac{P.V.M}{R.T}

Considering the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and ideal gas constant (R) are the same, we can establish that:

m ∝ M

The mass is directly proportional to the molar mass. The molar mass of O₂ (32 g/mol) is higher than the molar mass of N₂ (28 g/mol). Therefore, the tank with O₂ weighs more.

How many moles of Manganese there in are 5.76 x 10(15) atoms of Mn?
aksik [14]

Answer:

1. 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2. 7.38mol

Explanation:

1.) To find the number of moles there are in the number of particles in an atom, we divide the number of particles (nA) by Avagadro's constant (6.02 × 10^23)

Hence, to find the number of moles (n) of Manganese (Mn), we say:

5.76 x 10^15 atoms ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

5.76/6.02 × 10^(15-23)

= 0.957 × 10^-8

= 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2.) Mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

mole = 431.6 g ÷ 58.5g/mol

mole = 7.38mol

What is the specific latent heat of a fussion for a substance that takes 550 kj to melt 14 kg at 262 k?
Lina20 [59]

The latent heat is correlated with energy as follows:

Q = mL

550 * 103 = 14 * 103 * L

L = 39.285 J /g

Thus, latent heat of the substance is 39.285 j /g

You just got home from a run on a hot Atlanta afternoon. You grab a 1.00 liter bottle of water and drink three quarters of it in
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

¾ litters of water was consumed

2.24 litters = 1 mole of water

Therefore ¾÷2.24 moles was consumed

0.33 moles
