What do subscripts represent in a chemical formula?

Chemistry

The numbers appearing as subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. So when you see H2O, you know there are two hydrogens because a two follows the H.

An original sample of the radioisotope fluorine-21 had a mass of 80.0 milligrams. Only 20.0 milligrams of this original sample r
lyudmila [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioisotope decay processes follow first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,  

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time taken for decay process = 8.32 seconds

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 80 mg

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 20 mg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{8.32sec}\log\frac{80g}{20}\\\\k=0.166sec^{-1}

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = ?

k = 0.166sec^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.166sec^{-1}}=4.16sec

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
