The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g

The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives

Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives

Mi is the initial mass of the sample

To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)

n=1000/24100=0.0414

So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g

The mass remaining is 2.5 g

  • The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Polymerization.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Polymerization is given by the chemical formula;

nA -----> A(n).

In this scenario, Luis uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length.

Hence, the type of chemical reaction this best model is polymerization because it involved repeating the same design (monomers) to form a long grapevine with a bunch of grapes (polymers).

Which process was responsible for producing gases in the early atmosphere?
andre [41]

Answer: The early atmosphere

Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.

Why is the water cycle called a cycle and not a system?
alexira [117]
It is called a cycle because it is repetitive, therefore making it a cycle (or almost never ending)
