EXTRA CREDIT FROM–Focus on Health & Medicine Sections : Each question can be answered separately to earn points. (1) What disease can be identified by giving a patient sodium iodide (NaI) that contains the radioactive isotope iodine-131? (2) What is the shape that is see when a patient is given sodium iodide (NaI) that contains the radioactive isotope iodine-131 when a healthy gland is present? (3) What is the major cation present in blood and extra cellular bodily fluids which is carefully regulated through a number of mechanisms to maintain blood volume and blood pressure within acceptable ranges that permit organ function? (4) What is the cation found in hemoglobin that is essential for oxygen transport by red blood cells? (5) What is the cation that is needed for nerve transmission and muscle control? (6) Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is used to disinfect wounds. The structural formula is H-O-O-H. What is the geometry around the first oxygen in hydrogen peroxide? (7) Acetaminophen is a pain reliever. Within the structure, there is a carbon with bonds to four other atoms. What is the geometry around this carbon? (8) What is the function of a pacemaker? (9) A pacemaker contains a lithium-iodine battery. The 2 half-reactions that occur in the Redox-Reaction 2 Li + I2 –> 2 Li are: 2 Li –> 2 Li1+ + 2e- I2 + 2 e- –> 2 I1- Which of the above reactions represents the oxidation reaction? Explain why.
