Atoms of elements below atomic number 20 do not split because of stable nucleus.
Stability of nucleus is determined by neutron/proton ratio.
For light stable nuclides, number of protons ans neutrons are same. For heavy nuclides, number of neutrons is more than the number of protons.

Here the type of decay is alpha decay because number of nucleons(protons and neutrons) changes.
Hence option d is correct.

Digoxin is available in a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. How many ml are required to administer a 75 mcg dose?
Step2247 [10]

Answer : The volume required to administer a 75 mcg dose are, 0.75 mL

Explanation : Given,

Concentration of Digoxin = 0.1 mg/mL

That means, 0.1 mg of Digoxin present in 1 mL of solution.

Mass of dose = 75 mcg = 0.075 mg

Conversion used : (1 mcg = 0.001 mg)

Now we have to determine the volume required to administer a 75 mcg dose.

As, 0.1 mg of Digoxin required in 1 mL of solution

So, 0.075 mg of Digoxin required in \frac{0.075mg}{0.1mg}\times 1mL=0.75mL of solution

Thus, the volume required to administer a 75 mcg dose are, 0.75 mL

How many grams of N2 gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?
solong [7]

Answer:

Mass= 2.77g

Explanation:

Applying

P=2.09atm, V= 1.13L, R= 0.082, T= 291K, Mm of N2= 28

PV=nRT

NB

Moles(n) = m/M

PV=m/M×RT

m= PVM/RT

Substitute and Simplify

m= (2.09×1.13×28)/(0.082×291)

m= 2.77g
