Cobalt-60 is an artificial radioisotope that is produced in a nuclear reactor and is used as a gamma-ray source in the treatment of certain types of cancer. if the wavelength of the gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source is 1.00 × 10-3 nm, calculate the energy of a photon of this radiation.

Anurse practitioner prepares an injection of promethazine, an antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis. if the stock bottle is labeled 25 mg/ml and the order is a dose of 11.0 mg , how many milliliters will the nurse draw up in the syringe?

Both josef loschmidt and amedeo avogadro contributed to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction ratios. neither scientist discovered “avogadro’s number” in the form we use it today (6.02 x 10 23). still, there’s a controversy over the name. research the contributions from these two scientists and read about how avogadro’s number got its name. briefly state what you think this number should be called, providing key details of each scientist’s contributions to this concept and a solid rationale for your case in naming the number.
