Chemistry

Lelu [443]1 year ago

The decay mode of cesium-137 is beta decay. This means that the cesium-137 decays into a beta particle and a nuclide with the same mass number, but with a charge number that is 1 more than that of cesium.

Therefore, this means Cs-137 decays into an electron and Barium-137, meaning the answer is choice 1.

A gas mixture contains 3.00 atm of H2 and 1.00 atm of O2 in a 1.00 L vessel at 400K. If the mixture burns to form water while th

Answer:

$p_{H_2O}=2.00atm$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following chemical reaction:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

It means that we need to compute the moles of hydrogen and oxygen that are reacting, via the ideal gas equation as we know the volume, pressure and temperature:

$n_{H_2}=\frac{3.00atm*1.00L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}=0.0914molH_2 \\\\n_{O_2}=\frac{1.00atm*1.00L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}=0.0305molH_2$

Thus, the yielded moles of water are computed by firstly identifying the limiting reactant:

$n_{H_2O}^{by\ H_2} = 0.0914molH_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{2molH_2} =0.0914molH_2O\\\\n_{H_2O}^{by\ O_2} = 0.0305molO_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molO_2} =0.0609molH_2O$

Thus, the fewest moles of water are 0.0609 mol so the limiting reactant is oxygen; in such a way, by using the ideal gas equation once again, we compute the pressure of water:

$p_{H_2O}=\frac{0.0609molH_2O*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}{1.00L}\\\\ p_{H_2O}=2.00atm$

Best regards!

What is the density of a sample of a substance with a volume of 120ml<br> and a mass of 90g?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.75 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 90 g

volume = 120 mL

We have

$density = \frac{90}{120} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

Explanation:

Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the body due to its position.

Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the the body due to its motion.

When a woman kick's a soccer ball she transferred her potential energy to soccer ball.Due to this action soccer ball comes into motion which means potential energy imparted to the ball starts getting converted into kinetic energy.
