Hello,
In this case, given that a typical aspirin tablet contains 5.00 grains of pure aspirin, the first step here is to compute the mass of those grans per tablet given that 1.00 g = 15.4 grains:
In such a way, the number of aspirin tablets are computed considering the total mass of aspirin and the mass per tablet:
Best regards.
The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a. </span>
<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.
Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.
Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.
