<u>Given:</u>

Half life of Thallium-201 (T1/2)= 73 hrs

Initial amount of thallium (A₀) = 4.0 mg

Disintegration Time period (t) = 5.0 hrs

<u>To determine:</u>

Amount of thallium remaining, A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The radioactive half-life (T1/2) can be related to the amounts of the radio active element through the relation:

A = A_{0} e^{-0.693t/T1/2}

A = 4.0 * e^{-0.693*5/73} = 3.815 mg

Ans: Amount of thallium-201 remaining is 3.815 mg

The compound adrenaline contains 56.79% c, 6.56% h, 28.37% o, and 8.28% n by mass. what is the empirical formula for adrenaline?
Phoenix [80]
To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>

To calculate percent errorsubtract the accepted value from the experimental value.Take the absolute value of step 1.Divide that answer by the accepted value.Multiply that answer by 100
so% error = [|(10.085 g/ 10 ml) - 0.9975| / 0.9975] x 100
% error = 1.1 %
