1 answer:

7 0

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.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

C) 4.24 x $10^{-12}$

Explanation:

E = Δm $c^{2}$

Δm = 0.0284 x 1.66 x $10^{-27}$ kg = 4.714x $10^{-29}$ kg

putting value in above equation

E = 4.714x $10^{-29}$ kg x (3x $10^{8}$ $)^{2}$ = 4.24 x $10^{-12}$

If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve 2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})$

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964$

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

$x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm$

Which of the following liquids would have the highest viscosity at room temperature?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

5)HOCH2CH2OH

Explanation:

This is also known as ethylene glycol. An increase in hydrogen bonds of a compound means an increase in the viscosity. Hydrogen bonds occur as a result of bonding with electronegative elements such as Oxygen, Nitrogen etc.

The compounds with the highest amount of Hydrogen bond represents the one with the highest viscosity which is B) HOCH2CH2OH
