The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years

Determine the volume in liters occupied by 22.6 g of I2 gas at STP.
AleksandrR [38]

 The volume in liters  occupied  by 22.6 g  of I₂  gas  at STP  is  1.99 L (answer A)

 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step: find the  moles of I₂

moles= mass÷  molar mass

from  periodic table the  molar mass  of I₂  is  253.8 g/mol

moles = 22.6 g÷253.8 g/mol =0.089 moles

Step 2:find the volume  of I₂  at STP

At STP  1  moles =22.4 L

         0.089 moles= ? L

<em>by cross  multiplication</em>

={ (0.089 moles x 22.4 L) /1 mole} = 1.99 L

Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water, whic
Alja [10]

Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.

As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.

Calculate the volume 3.00 moles of a gas will occupy at 24.0˚C and 1.003 atm. *
vitfil [10]

Answer: 72.93 litres

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas (V) = ?

Temperature (T) = 24.0°C

Convert 24.0°C to Kelvin by adding 273

(24.0°C + 273 = 297K)

Pressure (P) = 1.003 atm

Number of moles (n) = 3 moles

Molar gas constant (R) is a constant with a value of 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

1.003 atm x V = 3.00 moles x 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1 x 297K

1.003 atm•V = 73.15 atm•L

Divide both sides by 1.003 atm

1.003 atm•V/1.003 atm = 73.15 atm•L/1.003 atm

V = 72.93 L

Thus, the volume of the gas is 72.93 litres

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:

1) <span>The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy

2) </span><span>Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.

3) </span>Demand for new nuclear plants also demands disposal capability which supports national security but again, their site will be no longer for them. But unfortunately, <span>Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.
