irina [24]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Uranium have an unstable nuclei , hence it  is a radioactive element , and radioactive element can undergo radioactive decay like the alpha decay , beta decay .

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus which , results in the release of energy along with radioactive particles , like alpha , beta , gamma etc .

Hence ,

The mass is lost from a sample of uranium .

How many liters are in a .00813M solution that contains 1.55 g of KBr?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

                      1.602 L (or) 1602 mL

Explanation:

             Molarity is the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution. It is expressed as,

                         Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution    ----- (1)

Rearranging above equation for volume,

                         Volume of solution  =  Moles / Molarity    -------(2)

Data Given;

                  Molarity  =  0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                  Mass  =  1.55 g

First calculate Moles for given mass as,

                   Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

                   Moles  =  1.55 g / 119.002 g.mol⁻¹

                   Moles  =  0.0130 mol

Now, putting value of Moles and Molarity in eq. 2,

                         Volume of solution  =  0.0130 mol / 0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                         Volume of solution  = 1.60 L

or,

                         Volume of solution  =  1602 mL

A wave is moving toward the shore If its frequency is 2.7 hertz, what is its wavelength? What would the correct number of signif
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

λ = 1.1×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 2.7 Hz

Wavelength of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

Speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

now we will put the values in formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = 2.7 s⁻¹ × λ

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s /2.7 s⁻¹

λ = 1.1×10⁸ m
