From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.

Uisng the formula;

N=Noe^-kt

N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq

No = amount initially present =  1.75 x 10^12 Bq

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 55 days

Hence;

4.995 ×10^9  = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k

2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k

ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k

k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55

k = 0.1066 day-1

Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1

= 6.5 days

Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

A container with a fixed volume, filled with hydrogen gas at -104°C and 71.8 K PA is heated until the pressure reaches 225.9 K P
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 532 K

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac law describes the behavior of a gas at constant volume, by changing the pressure or temperature. When is heated, the change in pressure of the gas is directly proportional to it absolute temperature (in Kelvin or K).

We have the following initial conditions:

P1= 71.8 kPa

T1= -104ºC +273 = 169 K

If the pressure increases until reaching 225.9 kPa (P2), we can calculate the final temperature of the gas (T2) by using the Gay-Lussac derived expression:

P1 x T2 = P2 x T1

⇒T2= (P2 x T1)/P1 = (225.9 kPa x 169 K)/71.8 kPa= 531.7 K ≅ 532 K

Which of the following are negative consequences of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo? Select the two correct an
Georgia [21]

Some of the negative consequences of cobalt mining are pollution and child trafficking.

<h3>Effects of cobalt mining</h3>

Many young children are made to work in mines generally either due to continued struggle for survival or forced into it by child traffickers.

Apart from that, cobalt mining causes pollution in the environment. Inhalation of dust containing cobalt causes a host of health issues such as lung cancer and damage to human skin.

Other effects include soil degradation and pollution, water pollution due to mine run-offs, etc.
