What are the answer choices
Answer:
A. Producing certain synthetic materials could have a greater environmental impact than disposing of them.
Explanation
I just did this question and got it right.
Explanation:
According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the relation between pH and
is as follows.
pH = 
where, pH = 7.4 and
= 7.21
As here, we can use the
nearest to the desired pH.
So, 7.4 = 7.21 + 
0.19 = 
= 1.55
1 mM phosphate buffer means
+
= 1 mM
Therefore, the two equations will be as follows.
= 1.55 ............. (1)
+
= 1 mM ........... (2)
Now, putting the value of
from equation (1) into equation (2) as follows.
1.55
= 1 mM
2.55
= 1 mM
= 0.392 mM
Putting the value of
in equation (1) we get the following.
0.392 mM +
= 1 mM
= (1 - 0.392) mM
= 0.608 mM
Thus, we can conclude that concentration of the acid must be 0.608 mM.
Answer:
B) The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost
the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained.
Explanation:
Heat capacity or thermal capacity is defined as the amount of heat required by a given mass of a material to raise its temperature by one unit which means that the heat capacity of the water, that is the quantity of heat required to cause a rise from 22°C to 35°C that is a rise of 13°C is the quantity of heat that caused the drop in temperature of the metal from 100°C to 35°C a change of 65°C
The water has more capacity to absorb heat or a higher heat capacity than the metal
However, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another. In this case, the thermal energy lost by the metal is the same as the thermal or heat energy gained by the water
Answer:
a) a0 was 46.2 grams
b) It will take 259 years
c) The fossil is 1845 years old
Explanation:
<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>
A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)
⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams
⇒ A0 = the original amount
⇒ t = time = 8 hours
⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours
46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)
Ao = 261.35 grams
<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>
t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years
It will take 259 years
<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>
<em />
t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845
The fossil is 1845 years old
