radiocontrast dyes are considered safe because the isotopes have short half-lives and the isotopes coat the gastrointestinal tract and are not absorbed by normal tissue. if a patient ingests 10.0 mg of iodine, how long until the iodine-134 is 99% out of the patient's system if the half-life of iodine-134 is 52.6 minutes?

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]
