What is the relationship between radiopharmaceuticals, tracers, and radionuclides? a tracer is part of a radionuclide, which functions as a radiopharmaceutical. a radionuclide is part of a radiopharmaceutical, which functions as a tracer. a radiopharmaceutical is part of a radionuclide, which functions as a tracer. a tracer is part of a radiopharmaceutical, which functions as a radionuclide.

the answer is (B)

B. The tracer looks harmless in flight, but the pilot’s bitten lips and white knuckles suggest how dangerous it can be.

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
