Calculations for FPGEE Students

55If a radioisotope loses 95% of its activity in 110 mins, what is its half-life?

A) 85min
B) 39 min
C) 1506 min
D) 25.5 min

kt=ln{ [A0]/[A]}; kx110= ln(100/5); k = 0.027. t½= 0.693/k= 0.693/0.027= 25.5 min.

General Chemistry

Calculate the molar mass of a gas which has a density of 2.615g /dm3 at 298K and 101kN/m2 (R= 8.31 J K-1 mol-1, gas molar volume = 22.4 dm3 at STP).

A)29g/mol
B)24g/mol
C)64g/mol
D)32g/mol

Ans: C
M = ρRT/P = (2.615g/dm3 x 8.31 J K-1 mol-1x 298K)/101kN/m2 = 64g/mol

Calculations for FPGEE Students

By titration you find that 15.0 cm3 of hydrochloric acid neutralise 25.0 cm3 of a 0.100 mol/dm3 solution of sodium hydroxide. What is the concentration of hydrochloric acid?

A)1.667 mol/dm3
B) 1.667 mol /cm3
C) 0.1667 mol /cm3
D) 0.1667 mol /dm3

Ans: D: 0.1667 mol/dm3

From the equation for the neutralisation reaction: HCL + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
1 mol of HCl neutralises 1 mole on NaOH.

Using the equation : Mol = Vol x Conc
we can calculate the:
Mol of base= 25cm3 x 0.1 mol/dm3 x 10-3 dm3= 2.5 mol-3.

Mol of acid = mol of base = 2.5 mol-3 = 15 x 10-3dm3 x Conc
Concentration of acid = 0.1667 mol dm-3.

Clinical Sciences

Reversible hearing loss can by caused by which one of the following drugs?
A)Erythromycin
B) Gentamicin
C)Co-amoxiclav
D)Cephaclor

Ans: A- Erythromycin causes reversible hearing loss.

Gentamicin causes auditory damage that is not reversible/
Co-amoxiclav and cephaclor to not affect the hearing.
