Why does radiation decrease over time?

1 answer:

8 0

Radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation refers to the transmission of energy by means of subatomic particles that travel as waves.

Radioactive isotopes are also known as radioisotopes, which have unstable combinations of subatomic particles (i.e., neutrons or protons) in their atomic nuclei, and thus may emit alpha particles, gamma rays or beta particles.

Radioactive isotopes such as C14 lost (emit) energy per unit of time, which is known as radiation or radioactive decay.

In conclusion, radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

At 298 K, the osmotic pressure of a glucose solution (C6H12O6 (aq)) is 12.1 atm. Calculate the freezing point of the solution. T

Anarel [89]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is -0.974°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 12.1 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

M = molarity of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = 298 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$12.1atm=1\times M\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\M=\frac{12.1}{1\times 0.0821\times 298}=0.495M$

This means that 0.495 moles of glucose is present in 1 L or 1000 mL of solution

To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of solution = 1.034 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1000 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.034g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.034g/mL\times 1000mL)=1034g$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of glucose = 0.495 moles

Molar mass of glucose = 180.16 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.495mol=\frac{\text{Mass of glucose}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of glucose}=(0.495mol\times 180.16g/mol)=89.18g$

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of pure solution and freezing point of solution.

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

$\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 0°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point elevation constant = 1.86°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (glucose) = 89.18 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (glucose) = 180.16 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = [1034 - 89.18] g = 944.82 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 1.86^oC/m\times \frac{89.18\times 1000}{180.16g/mol\times 944.82}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=-0.974^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is -0.974°C

In sexual reproduction, if each chromosome in a pair has the same genes, how is genetic variety possible?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The same genes or slightly different versions of the same gene can be found on each chromosome in a pair. They form a line and split off bits of themselves, which they barter with one another. In sexual reproduction, crossing over is the first method that genes are shuffled to develop genetic variation.

Which molecule below has hydrogen bonding? Which molecule below has hydrogen bonding? H2 CH3CH2OH HCl CH4 all of the above

QveST [7]

Answer:

$CH_3CH_2OH$

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding:-

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Partially positive end of the hydrogen atom is attracted to partially negative end of these atoms which is present in another molecule. It is strong force of attraction between the molecules.

Thus, hydrogen must be linked to electronegative atom which is oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen which is in $CH_3CH_2OH$ and thus, it will shown hydrogen bonding.
