Answer:
2.14 × 10⁻³ molecules/RSP
3.31 × 10⁻³ molecules/ESP
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of Acetaminophen per Regular Strength Pill (RSP)
A Regular Strength Pill has 1.29 × 10²¹ molecules of Acetaminophen per pill. To convert molecules to moles we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
1.29 × 10²¹ molecules/RSP × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ molecules = 2.14 × 10⁻³ molecules/RSP
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Acetaminophen per Extra Strength Pill (ESP)
An Extra Strength Pill has 1.99 × 10²¹ molecules of Acetaminophen per pill. To convert molecules to moles we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
1.99 × 10²¹ molecules/ESP × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ molecules = 3.31 × 10⁻³ molecules/ESP
The half-life of Plutonium−239, t1/2 is 2.41 × 10⁴<span> yrs
time taken to reach tolerable level = seven half-lives
= 7 x t1/2
= 7 x </span>2.41 × 10⁴ yrs
= 168700 yrs
= 1.687 x 10⁵ yrs
Hence, the period of time that <span>Plutonium-239 must be stored is </span>1.687 x 10⁵ years.
Passes through the kidneys and the good stuff is kept, and the other stuff is passed through leading to the bladder. The once the bladder is full enough to send the message to the brain, urine (waste) is eliminated from the body.
