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.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\math{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$

Explanation:

The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.

(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O

{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

$\dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{3}{1}$

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

$\dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

Combining the two ratios, we get

$\text{Stoichiometric factor} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{2}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\text{The stoichiometric factor is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$}$
