Cobalt-59 and Cobalt-60 differ in that they have different mass number which means they have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with similar atomic number but different mass number. Cobalt-60, has a number of uses, which includes, being used to irradiate food sources as a method of preserving food, used in industrial radiography to detect structural flaws in metal parts among other uses.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Entropy means the amount of randomness present within the molecules of the body of a substance.

Relation between entropy and microstate is as follows.

           S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega

where,      S = entropy

             K_{b} = Boltzmann constant

             \Omega = number of microstates

This equation only holds good when the system is neither losing or gaining energy. And, in the given situation we assume that the system is neither gaining or losing energy.

Also, let us assume that \Omega = 1, and \Omega' = 0.833

Therefore, change in entropy will be calculated as follows.

     \Delta S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega' - K_{b} \times ln \Omega

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times ln(0.833) - 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times \times ln(1)

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times (-0.182)

                 = -0.251 \times 10^{-23}

or,             = -2.51 \times 10^{-24}

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy change for a particle in the given system is -2.51 \times 10^{-24} J/K particle.

A sample of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 0.926 atm and a temperature of 29.5 C, occupies a volume of 457 mL. If the gas is allo
klio [65]

Answer:

V₂ = 946.72 mL

Explanation:

Given data;

Initial pressure = 0.926 atm

Initial volume = 457 mL

Temperature = constant = 29.5°C

Final pressure = 0.447 atm

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

by putting values,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.926 atm × 457 mL = 0.447 atm × V₂

V₂ = 423.18 atm. mL/ 0.447 atm

V₂ = 946.72 mL

What heat is liberated in the formation of 10.0 grams of sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, from the elements sulfur and fluorine?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Q=-76.7kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for such formation of sulfur hexafluoride, the standard enthalpy of formation is -1220.47 kJ/mol (data extracted from NIST database). Next, we compute the moles in 10.0 grams of sulfur hexafluoride as shown below:

n_{SF_6}=10.0gSF_6*\frac{1molSF_6}{146.06 gSF_6}=0.0685mol

Next, for the given energy, we compute the total heat that is liberated:

Q=-1220.47\frac{kJ}{mol}*0.0685 mol\\\\Q=-76.7kJ

Finally, we conclude such symbol has sense since negative heat is related with liberated heat.

Best regards.

Calculate the total pressure in a 10.0 liter flask at 27°C of a sample of gas that contains 6.0 grams of hydrogen, 15.2 grams of
motikmotik

Answer:

The total pressure is 27.8 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P (total pressure) = nRT/V

n (total moles of gases) = (6/1 moles of hydrogen) + (15.2/14 moles of nitrogen) + (16.8/4 moles of helium) = 6+1.1+4.2 = 11.3 moles

R = 0.082057L.atm/gmol.K, T = 27°C = 27+273K = 300K, V = 10L

P = 11.3×0.082057×300/10 = 27.8 atm
