<u>Answer:</u>

<em>To answer the question we need to know the half-life of fluorine for reference we have chlorine half-life as 110. The fraction of chlorine remaining would be given by 0.5^n </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here we know and is known as the number of Half-life that have elapsed during this process  Now we are giving the time of start as 8 a.m. and time of finishing at 1:30 p.m., so the time between is 5 ½  hours. Which on converting in minutes will give 330 minutes.

So Half Life elapsed would be given by = 330/110=3

Hence the amount remaining would be = 0.5 ^3 \times 125 =15.625

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>17.4 mg of the radioisotope are still active when the sample arrives at the radiology laboratory at 1:30 P.M.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Half-life of F-18 is found to be 109.7 minutes

Rate constant      

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=0.00632$

t = time taken = 5 hours 30 minutes = 330 minutes

$\ln [A]=\ln [A]_{0}-k t$

[A] is the final quantity  

[A]_0  is the initial quantity

Plugging the values and solving for [A]

\\$\ln [A]=\ln (140 m g)-\left(0.00632 \min ^{-1} \times 330 \min \right)$\\\\$\ln [A]=4.942-2.085$\\\\$\ln [A]=2.857$\\\\$[A]=e^{2.857}$

[A] = 17.4mg is the Answer

If 6.96 mol of C 5 H 12 reacts with excess O 2 , how many moles of CO 2 will be produced by the following combustion reaction? C
kati45 [8]

Answer:

34.8 moles of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

1C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂  →  6H₂O  +  5CO₂

Ratio is 1:5. We make a rule of three

1 mol of pentane can produce 5 moles of CO₂

Then, 6.96 moles of pentane may produce (6.96 .5) / 1 = 34.8 moles

How many O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆
ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula  shows the number of atomic elements in compound.  

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
