If carbon-15 has a half-life of 2.5 seconds, % of the sample would still be

kramer

Answer:

After 5 second 25% C-15 will remain.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of C-15 = 2.5 sec

Original amount = 100%

Sample remain after 5 sec = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 5 sec / 2.5 sec

Number of half lives = 2

At time zero = 100%

At first half life = 100%/2 = 50%

At second half life = 50%/2 = 25%

Thus after 5 second 25% C-15 will remain.

Old aspirin exposed to moisture often smells like acetic acid (vinegar). When aspirin is heated in boiling water, it decomposes

Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Vinegar like smell is given off by aspirin when we tend to heat it in boiling water. The main cause of this vinegar like smell is due to the formation of acetic acid and a phenolic acid upon heating of aspirin.

As a result, it gives a positive test when treated with ferric chloride, that is, $FeCl_{3}$ .
