Industrial uses of isotopes

Answer 1

1. Phosphorus is used in treatment of blood cancer .

2. Radioisotopes are used to detect presense of tumor (arsenic) and blood clots (sodium).

3. They are used to find the age of fossils (carbon)

4. They help in finding th eage of rock

5. Also , radioisotopes are used to detect leakage in underground pipes

Answer 2

Isotopes that are unstable will emit radiation, which can be alpha particles , beta particles or gamma radiation. The radiation can be used to treat cancer in the case of cobalt-60, which emits gamma radiation. Cancerous cell are destryed by directing a contrlled beam of gamma radiation at the cells.

Answer 3

cobalt isotope C60 in treatment of cancer and iodine isoope in goitrer treatment, carbon 14 in carbon dating i.e. knowing the age of the fossils, rocks and knowing the plants or trees age.

P32 and N14 in DNA techniques etc...

Answer 4

Isotopes are used in various industrial applications such as in radiography for non-destructive testing in industries like aerospace and automotive. They are also used in sterilization processes for medical equipment and food preservation. Isotopes can be used as tracers to monitor industrial processes like water flow in pipelines or to detect leaks in underground storage tanks.
