Carbon is the reference taken to assign the atomic mass unit

  • One twelfth of the mass of unbound carbon-12 is taken as 1amu
  • The unit for the atomic mass constant is Dalton (Da)
  • This unit is standard when doing calculations in chemistry and physics
  • 1amu = 1.6605x10⁻¹⁹g
  • This was also derived from the law of definite proportions
  • This standard has been set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
  • The IUPAC is responsible for assigning various standards such as the nomenclature of various compounds, and updating the periodic table of elements.
  • According to the IUPAC carbon is the reference taken to assign the atomic mass unit

Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?
Wittaler [7]
The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops. 

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>

Prepare 15 mg/dl working standard solution from a stock solution of 20 mg/dl. State the volume of diluent and dilution.
Anastasy [175]

Preparing 15 mg/gl working standard solution from a 20 mg/dl stock solution will require the application of the dilution principle.

Recalling the principle:

initial volume x initial molarity = final volume x final molarity

Since we were not given any volume to work with, we can as well just take an arbitrary volume to be prepared. Let's assume that the stock solution is 10 mL and we want to prepare 15 mg/gl from it:

Applying the dilution principle:

10 x 20 = final volume x 15

final volume = 200/15

                       = 13.33 mL

This means that in order to prepare 13.33 mL, 15 mg/l working standard solution from 10 ml, 20 mg/dl stock solution, 3.33 mL of the diluent must be added to the stock solution.

Calculate the specific heat of the substance if 373 J is required to raise the temperature of a 312 gram sample by 25°C?
I am Lyosha [343]

Explanation:

Q = 373J

∆∅ = 25°C

m = 312g

c = x

Q = mc∆∅

373 = 312(x)(25)

373 = 7800x

x = 373/7800

x = 0.0478J/(g°C)
