Hence, 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles is being emitted each second by the sample.

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

The term half life is the time taken for only half of the original  amount of radioactive nuclides to remain.

Thus, we have that the half life is 432.2 years or 1.36 * 10^10 s.

k = 0.693/ 1.36 * 10^10 s

k = 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles per second.

What is the final volume?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Option A. 9.4 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 8 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 293 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 343 K

Final volume (V₂) =?

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

8 / 293 = V₂ / 343

Cross multiply

293 × V₂ = 8 × 343

293 × V₂ = 2744

Divide both side by 293

V₂ = 2744 / 293

V₂ = 9.4 L

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 9.4 L

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

If you take a part time job while you are still in school what might your opportunity scost be
yarga [219]

The opportunity costs of working part-time while attending high school could be studying time, grades, and your own free time. It depends on the person, how they do in school, but if it were for me, I would say the benefits outweigh the costs. I have enough time to study and still get good grades in school.

Please select the most appropriate answer for the blank: Entropy change is defined only along the path of a(n) ___________ proce
Whitepunk [10]

Entropy change is defined only along the path of an internally reversible process path.

<h3><u>What is Entropy Change </u>?</h3>
  • Entropy is a measure of a thermodynamic system's overall level of disorder or non-uniformity. The thermal energy that a system was unable to use to perform work is known as entropy.
  • Entropy Change is a phenomena that measures how disorder or randomness have changed inside a thermodynamic system.
  • It has to do with how heat or enthalpy is converted during work. More unpredictability in a thermodynamic system indicates high entropy.
  • Entropy is a state function, hence it is independent of the direction that the thermodynamic process takes.
  • The rearranging of atoms and molecules from their initial state causes the change in entropy.
  • This may result in a decrease or rise in the system's disorder or unpredictability, which will, in turn, result in a corresponding drop or increase in entropy.
