Co-60 absorbed by the liver‚ kidneys‚ or bone tissue can cause cancer because of exposure to the gamma radiation. Iodine 131 Let’s start with iodine-131 (I-131). This radioisotope of iodine has a half-life of 8 days and emits both beta-particles and gamma radiation (see Figure‚ above) (3-5). The beta-particles‚ which cause 90% of the tissue damage‚ are comparatively energetic‚ travel a maximum of 2

Iodine and Mineral Oil: Crushed iodine slightly visible in oil. Dramatic change in color; oil changed from clear into rich purple. Iodine and Alcohol: No visible pieces of Iodine present in solution. Change of color from clear to dark brown. Potassium Solution and Iodine: Immediate reaction between the two components

The three-drops of the mixture simultaneously added with two drops of iodine solution were dropped onto the first well of a spot plate and was labelled as the zero minute. Incubation should be continued and after a one-minute interval‚ three-drops of the mixture simultaneously added with two drops of iodine solution were dropped onto the second well of a spot plate and was labelled as one minute. The test tube of the iodine solution should not be exposed. It should be covered with a cork and wrapped

the reaction between iodine and acetone in acid solution: For this reaction‚ you will determine the order of the reaction with respect to acetone and HCl and find a value for the rate constant‚ k. Since the concentrations of acetone and HCl are much higher than that of I2‚ the concentrations of acetone and HCl will change very little. Thus the rate will be determined by the time needed for iodine to be used up. Iodine has color so you can easily follow changes in iodine concentration visually

In addition the energy in Hartee for each molecule was also obtained. The molecules used were Iodine (I2)‚ Carbon Monoxide (CO)‚ Cyanide ion (CN-)‚ Acetonitrile (CH3CN) and Benzene (C6H6). The energy equations used previously allows one to solve the Schrodinger equation for molecular energies. The Hamiltonian operator in the energy equation‚ containing

higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Because of the selective permeability of the membrane only water and other very small particles (iodine) can be diffused through simple diffusion. The solution out of the dialysis tubing had a higher distelled iodine concentration of solutes (iodine + H2O) than did the starch solution. So iodine move into the cell and react with starch molecules to formed starchiodine‚ the blue compound‚ with a specific rate. The test show that mean rates of

All of the halogens exist as diatomic molecules (F2‚ Cl2 and I2) the intermolecular attractions between the molecules hold them together. The larger the molecule (as it moves down the halogen group) the bigger the intermolecular forces are between electrons because with more rings the distance between each electron is larger. The larger elements such as Bromine and Iodine are larger molecules with a larger amount of intermolecular

Why was RIA used to measure Thyroxine while IRMA was used to measure TSH? RIA is used to measures the thyroxine levels in the blood‚ while the IRMA measures high or low levels of TSH being released. 5. How was it used to observe relative amount of iodine accumulated by thyroid gland? RAI measures the amount of iodine that is absorbed by the thyroid
