Everything fades. However, old Xray films are the same as black-and-white photographic film. They last 100 years plus and counting. There is a big business in converting Xray films to computer files and then harvesting the film for the silver.
Yes, unexposed x-ray film contains a layer of silver halide crystals suspended in a gelatin emulsion. When exposed to radiation, these crystals undergo a chemical change, allowing for the development of images. The silver in the film is crucial for capturing the x-ray image, but it remains inactive until the film is developed.
X Ray film emulsions are sensitive to light.
No, hydrochloric acid (HCl) will not dissolve silver. Silver is resistant to corrosion by most acids, including HCl.
Silver chloride and lead (II) chloride do not dissolve well in water.
Yes, hydrogen peroxide can dissolve silver over time due to its oxidizing properties. It reacts with the silver to form silver oxide, which can then dissolve into the hydrogen peroxide solution. However, this process is relatively slow and may not be practical for use as a primary method of dissolving silver.
Yes it will dissolve liberating H2 gas.
If the patient's hands are in the field of the xray they will appear on the film, so even if they are on the stomach they will appear as if they are over or near the spine. If someone has helped immobilise the patient for the xray, then their hands may appear on the film.
Copper electrode will dissolve in water to form copper ions, while silver electrode will not dissolve in water as silver is relatively unreactive. Copper ions will be present in the water solution after dissolving the copper electrode.
Yes, silver will slowly dissolve in hydrochloric acid to form silver chloride and hydrogen gas. However, this reaction is relatively slow compared to other metals like iron or zinc.
If by XRAY, you mean a plain film, which is to say a modality that uses Rontgen radiation, then, no. The adrenals need either CT, ultrasound or MRI to visualize the adrenals.
Silver Strand - film - was created in 1995.
