A student wants to measure the entropy of ice. What should the student do?
Helen [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.

Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.

A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.

A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

                        N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, N_{0} is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and t_{\frac{1}{2}} is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here N_{0}=4.60 mg, t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr and t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr

So,N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg

Which of the following produces a physical change in the shape of an object?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:Any change that occurs without altering the chemical composition of a substance is a physical change. Physical changes can include changing the color, shape, state of matter, or volume of a substance. It is crucial to remember that physical changes never alter the chemical makeup.
