When a radioactive tracer is used why is it best to use a radioactive isotope that decays into a stable isotope?

The principle behind the use of radioactive tracers is that an atom in a chemical compound is replaced by another atom, of the same chemical element. The substituting atom, however, is a radioactive isotope. This process is often called radioactive labeling.


How long are urine samples good for testing?

If properly sealed and stored, urine samples are good for testing up to 24 hours after the sample given. The urine sample should be in a sterile container within a sealed plastic bag and stored in a refrigerator.


How do you determine the organic content of a soil sample?

The best way to determine the organic content of a soil sample is the following: 1. First weigh the lab vessel that you will be putting your sample in and write it down. 2. Scoop in 5 g of the sample into the vessel then weigh it again. 3. Subtract the weight of the vessel by the weight you got in #2. This is your starting weight. 4. After adjusting the muffler furnace to 360 C, put the soil sample you have measured out that is in the lab container in the furnace for two hours. 5. After two hours, put on heat resistant gloves and take out the sample to allow it to cool. It will be very hot, much too hot to handle at the moment. 6. When it is cool, weigh the sample again, and just like in #3, subtract the weight of the vessel to this sample weight and you will get the weight of the sample without the weight of the organic matter. 7. Now divide the weight of the of the soil without the organic matter by the starting weight (which should be 5 g), then multiply by 100. This will give you the amount of soil in the sample. Now subtract by 100 from this amount and you will get the amount of organic matter in the soil. For example, If the end weight is 4.7g, then 4.7/5.0 = 0.94, which means that 0.94 x 100= 94%. Therefore, 100-94 = 6% of the soil sample is composed of organic matter.
