This questic concerns a tablet that has remained in storage for 2 years
since manufacture. From the drug
monograph the decomposition
rate constant (k) was found to be 6
x 10-2 year-1. The degradation
reaction is known to proceed via
first-order kinetics. Which one of
the following is the remaining
percentage of the original drug
? concentration

The remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the decay of a substance at an initial concentration at manufacture:

where k is the decay rate (in our case 0.06/year), and t is the elapsed time in years. Therefore, after 2 years since manufacture we have:

This in percent form is 88.7 %. That is, the remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

if the thermos has a vacuum innner, then heat through conv currents and conduction are reduced = vacuum flask

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
