The specific activity (in Ci/g) if 1.65 mg of an isotope emits 1.56X10⁶α a particles per second.

<h3>What is isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are two or more types of atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons in their nuclei) and periodic table position (and so belong to the same chemical element), but distinct nucleon numbers due to differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. While all isotopes of a given element have nearly identical chemical properties, their atomic weights and physical properties differ.

The term isotope is derived from the Greek roots isos and topos, which means that different isotopes of the same element occupy the same position on the periodic table. Margaret Todd, a Scottish doctor and writer, coined the phrase in 1913 as a recommendation to British chemist Frederick Soddy.

A true statement about mass is that:
Orlov [11]

Answer:

(c.) as the force of Earth's gravity on an object increases, the object's mass increases

Explanation:

Based on newton's law of gravitation "every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

It is mathematically expressed as:

    F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }

F is the gravitational force on either particle

m₁ and m₂ are the masses

r is the distance between particles

G is the universal gravitation constant.

From this expression, we see that the force of earth's gravity is directly proportional to mass.

The half-life of radium-226 is 1590 years. if a sample contains 100 mg, how many mg will remain after 1000 years?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

64.52 mg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Final amount (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the rate constant (K).

This is illustrated below:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Rate/decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693/1590

K = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Finally, we shall determine the amount that will remain after 1000 years as follow:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Rate constant = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Final amount (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (100/N) = 4.36×10¯⁴ × 1000/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.436/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.1896

Take the antilog

100/N = antilog (0.1896)

100/N = 1.55

Cross multiply

N x 1.55 = 100

Divide both side by 1.55

N = 100/1.55

N = 64.52 mg

Therefore, the amount that remained after 1000 years is 64.52 mg

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential +0.80 V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. Minimum 1.70 V

b. There is no maximum.

Explanation:

We can solve this question by remembering that the cell potential is given by the formula

ε⁰ cell = ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation

Now the problem states the cell must provide at least 0.9 V and that the reduction potential of the  oxidized species  0.80 V, thus

ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation ≥  ε⁰ cell

Since ε⁰  oxidation is by definition the negative of ε⁰ reduction , we have

ε⁰ reduction - ( 0.80 V )  ≥  0.90 V

⇒ ε⁰ reduction  ≥ 1.70 V

Therefore,

(a) The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.70 V

(b) There is no maximum standard reduction potential since it is stated in the question that we want to have a cell that provides at leat 0.9 V

Using two different instruments I measured the length of my foot to be 27 centimeters and 27.00 centimeters. Explain the differe
Sophie [7]

Answer:

As you used two diferent instruments, one is more sensitive than the other.

Explanation:

The sensitivity of an instrument is the minimum amount of magnitude that can be  differentiate a measurement system.

In method A, you got 27 cm, so if in method B, you got 27.00, method B is more sensitive. It's like saying that one system measures more than the other
