A sample of radioactive waste has a half-live of 40 years and an activity level of 4 curies. After how many years will the activ

After 160 years, the activity level of the sample will be 0.5 curies.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

Half life of any radioactive waste is the half decay of that product.

The formula is \dfrac{\lambda }{\lambda_1} = 2^\dfrac{a}{b}

Where, λ is 4 cruies

λ1 is 0.5 cruies

b = 40 years

Putting the values in the equation

\dfrac{4}{0.5} = 2^\dfrac{a}{40}\\\\\\\dfrac{a}{40} =  4\\ = 160 years

Thus, the correct option is 160 years.

How many mL of 0.25 M NaOH would have 0.18 moles of NaOH?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

720 mL

Explanation:

To answer this problem we'll use the <em>definition of molarity</em>:

  • Molarity = moles / liters

With that in mind we can <u>calculate the volume in liters</u>:

  • 0.25 M = 0.18 moles / liters
  • liters = 0.72 L

Finally we<u> convert liters to mL</u>:

  • 0.72 L * 1000 = 720 mL

Thus 720 mL of 0.25 M NaOH would have 0.18 moles of NaOH.

A 10.0 g sample of propane, C3H8, was combusted in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. The total heat capacity of the bomb calor
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

83ºC

Explanation:

A bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat that release or absorb a particular reaction.

The reaction of combustion of propane is:

C₃H₈ +  5O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O ΔH = -2222kJ/mol

<em>1 mole of propane release 2222kJ</em>

10.0g of propane (Molar mass: 44.1g/mol).

10.0g ₓ (1mol/ 44.1g) = <em>0.227 moles of C₃H₈</em>

If 1 mole of propane release 2222kJ, 0.227moles will release (Release because molar heat is < 0):

0.227 moles of C₃H₈ ₓ (2222kJ / mol) = 504kJ.

Our calorimeter has a constant of 8.0kJ/ºC, that means if there are released 8.0kJ, the bomb calorimeter will increase its temperature in 1ºC. As there are released 504kJ:

504kJ ₓ (1ºC / 8.0kJ) = 63ºC will increase the temperature in the bomb calorimeter.

As initial temperature was 20ºC, final temperature will be:
