Answer:

15.32 days

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Time (t) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

14.06 = 225 / 2ⁿ

Cross multiply

14.06 × 2ⁿ = 225

Divide both side by 14.06

2ⁿ = 225 / 14.06

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =.?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 3.83

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 3.83

t = 15.32 days

Therefore the time for 225 g sample of Radon to decay to 14.06 g is 15.32 days

Answer:

Three chemical elements: hydrogen, oxygen, and helium.

The difference between metals and metalloids is: metalloids have properties in between those of the metals and non-metals and are semiconductors.

The periodic table is organized by the elemts atomic number, it goes from the element with the lowest atomic number (which is hydrogen) to the element with the highest atomic number (oganesson)

You need to prepare at 2.0 mL sample of a diluted drug for injection. The total amount of the drug to be injected in this 2.0 mL

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) The concentration of drug in the bottle is 9.8 mg/ml

b) 0.15 ml drug solution + 1.85 ml saline.

c) 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The concentration of the drug in the bottle is 294 mg/ 30.0 ml = 9.8 mg/ml

b) The drug has to be administrated at a dose of 0.0210 mg/ kg body mass. Then, the total mass of drug that there should be in the injection for a person of 70 kg will be:

0.0210 mg/kg-body mass * 70 kg = 1.47 mg drug.

The volume of solution that contains that mass of drug can be calculated using the value of the concentration calculated in a)

If 9.8 mg of the drug is contained in 1 ml of solution, then 1.47 mg drug will be present in (1.47 mg * 1 ml/ 9.8 mg) 0.15 ml.

To prepare the injection, you should take 0.15 ml of the concentrated drug solution and (2.0 ml - 0.15 ml) 1.85 ml saline

c) In the injection there is a concentration of (1.47 mg / 2.0 ml) 0.735 mg/ml.

Let´s convert it to molarity:

0.735 mg/ml * 1000 ml/l * 0.001 g/mg* 1 mol/ 15000 g = 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l
