RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4A
From the question given , we need to find the amount of hydrocodone bitartrate left after 12
hours; N(12).

The information given is as below;

t= 0 ; N0 = 10 mg

t= 3.8 hours ; N ( 3.8 ) = ½ N0

t=12 hours ;N ( 12 ) = ?

r =0.182

After that, we substituted r =0.182 and t=12 in formula of Radioactive Decay; N ( t ) =N 0 e−rt to
find N ( 12 )

N ( t ) =N 0 e−rt ; N ( 12 )=10 e−0.182( 12 ) ; N ( 12 )=1.126 m

4(B)

From the question given, we were asked to find the length of time, t, taken for the solution to
cool from 32oC to 25oC. Based on the question and information given, we will use the Newton’s
law of cooling to solve this problem.

Newton’s Law of Cooling ; Tt = Te + (To – Te)e-kt

List out the information given ;

to = 78oC ; Tt = 25oC,

To = 32oC ; t5 = 52oC,

Te = 17oC

t=?

To find t, we must find k first.

k=?,

to = 78oC,

t5 = 52oC,

te = 17oC ,

Substitute the information given to the Newton’s Law of Cooling

Tt = Te + (To – Te)e-kt

52 = 17 + (78 – 17)e-k(5)

52 = 17 + 61e-5k

61e-5k = 35
 35
ln e-5k = ln
61

35
-5k = ln
61

k = 0.1111

After we knew k = 0.1111, we can find value of ‘t’ by substituting into Newton’s Law of
Cooling.

t = ?,

To = 32oC,

Tt = 25oC ,

Te = 17oC ,

Formula ; Tt = Te + (To – Te)e-kt

25 = 17 + (32 – 17)e-0.1111t

25 = 17 + 15e-0.1111t

15e-0.1111t = 8

ln e-0.1111t = ln

-0.1111t = ln

t = 5.66 min
