The reason for maintaining the same geometrical orientation between the sample and the Geiger Muller tube is to be stated. Concept introduction: The most familiar instrument to measure radioactivity level is the Geiger Muller counter. High energy particles from radioactive decay process produce ions when they travel through the matter. Its probe is filled with argon gas which is ionized by rapidly moving particle. There is flow of current due to formation of ions and electrons by the passage of high energy particle. Thus the decay rate of radioactive sample is determined by detecting the current flow. To determine: The reason for maintaining the same geometrical orientation between the sample and the Geiger Muller tube.

Label these peaks in H- NMR and C- NMR

Complete the following table. The only density needed is already given. Show your calculations in a neat and easy-to-follow manner in the space below the table. All units should be included and significant figures should be given close attention. Be sure to notice that the amount of material should be in millimoles rather than moles, and the theoretical mass of the product should in milligrams rather than grams.
