Three radioisotopes are being discussed in a chemistry class. Technetium-99m has a half-life of 6 hours. Rubidium-87 has a half-

life of 50 billion years. Which describes who would most likely use each isotope? A geologist would use technetium-99m because short-life indicates an older organism, and a doctor would use rubidium-87 because it allows for a more-accurate measurement of disease.
A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and a geologist would use rubidium-87 because a longer half-life means that there is a longer time to measure old rock.
A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and an archeologist would use rubidium-87 because anything containing carbon also contains rubidium.
A geologist would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates an older organism, and an archeologist would use rubidium-87 because anything containing carbon also contains rubidium.

Answer:

A doctor would use technetium-99m because a short half-life indicates a quick measurement, and a geologist would use rubidium-87 because a longer half-life means that there is a longer time to measure old rock.

Explanation:

The radioisotopes are used to measure the presence of certain elements in molecules and in different substances, Technetium-99m has a short time of half life, 6 hours is good for doctors to measure the presence of that element in the human body or in another organisms, in the case of geologists, Rubidium-87, and its presence in certain rocks can make an impact on the presence and age of those rocks.

mastering chem If the experiment below is run for 60 s, 0.16 mol A remain. Which of the following statements is or are true? At
Dvinal [7]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

(a) Considering the system mentioned in the equation:-

The sum of total moles in the flask will always be equal to 1 which leads to confirmation of this statement as for 60 secs= 0.16 mol A and 0.84 mol B

(b) 0<t< 20s,  mole A got reduced from 1 mole to 0.54 moles while at 40s to 60s A got decreased from 0.30 moles to 0.16 moles.

0 to 20s is 0.46 (1 - 0.54 = 0.46)mol whereas,

40 to 60s is 0.14 (0.30-.16 = 0.14) mol

(0.46 > 0.14) mol leading this statement to be true as well.

(c) Average rate from t1 = 40 to t2 = 60 s is given by:

\delta moles/\delta time  = 0.30-0.16/60-40 = 0.007 Mol/s which is true as well

Answer:

1. Galvanic oxidation. Example is the corrosion of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wires under wet conditions.

2. Rainwater or Damp/moist air

3. Chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel screws or galvanized steel screws

Explanation:

1. Galvanic oxidation or corrosion occurs when two different metals with different electrode potentials are brought into contact with each other by means of an electrolyte (usually a aqueous solution), such that a redox reaction occurs leading to one metal with the more negative electrode potential (the anode) becoming oxidized, while the other less negative potential (the cathode) is reduced.

In order for galvanic corrosion to occur, three elements are required.

i. Two metals with different corrosion potentials (anode and cathode)

ii. Direct metal-to-metal electrical contact

iii. A conductive electrolyte solution (e.g. water) must connect the two metals on a regular basis.

For example oxidation (corrosion) of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wire under wet conditions.

2. The most likely electrolyte will be rainwater containing dissoved solutes (if the panel is in an exposed part of the house) or damp/moist air.

3. From the table, the most likely screw will be chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel (made of iron and nickel) screws or galvanized steel (zinc-plated) screws.

All these possible screw components have a more negative electrode potential than copper. Thus they will serve as the anode in a galvanic oxidation with copper.

Many drugs decompose in blood by a first-order process. two tablets of aspirin supply 0.60 g of the active compound. after 30 mi
Firdavs [7]
<span>The half-life of a first-order reaction is determined as follows: 

</span>t½<span>=ln2/k

From the equation, we can calculate the </span><span>first-order rate constant:

</span>k = (ln(2)) / t½ = 0.693 / 90 = 7.7 × 10⁻³

When we know the value of k we can then calculate concentration with the equation:

A₀ = 2 g/100 mL 

t = 2.5 h = 150min

A = A₀ × e^(-kt) =2 × e^(-7.7 × 10⁻³ × 150) = 0.63 g / 100ml

   = 6.3 × 10⁻⁴ mg / 100ml

Which of the following compounds has polar covalent bonds: NaBr, Br2, HBr, and CBr4?
svetlana [45]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, CBr_{4} will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.  

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.
