 Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells

A 32.2 g iron rod, initially at 21.9 C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.5 C. in an insulated container. The fin
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer : The mass of the water in two significant figures is, 3.0\times 10^1g

Explanation :

In this case the heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron metal = 0.45J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of iron metal = 32.3 g

m_2 = mass of water = ?

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 59.2^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of iron metal = 21.9^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 63.5^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

32.3g\times 0.45J/g^oC\times (59.2-21.9)^oC=-m_2\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (59.2-63.5)^oC

m_2=30.16g\approx 3.0\times 10^1g

Therefore, the mass of the water in two significant figures is, 3.0\times 10^1g

What is the ph of a solution of 1.699 l of 1.25 m hcn, ka = 6.2 x 10-10, and 1.37 moles of nacn?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The pH of a solution is 9.02.

c(HCN) = 1.25 M; concentration of the cyanide acid

n(NaCN) = 1.37 mol; amount of the salt

V = 1.699 l; volume of the solution

c(NaCN) = 1.37 mol ÷ 1.699 l

c(NaCN) = 0.806 M; concentration of the salt

Ka = 6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰; acid constant

pKa = -logKa

pKa = - log (6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰)

pKa = 9.21

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for the buffer solution:

pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 9.21 + log (0.806M/1.25M)

pH = 9.21 - 0.19

pH = 9.02; potential of hydrogen

How much does the air weigh within a column that is 1 square inch in area that extends from sea level all the way to the top of
fredd [130]

Answer:

14.7 lbs

Explanation:

Air pressure is the weight of the air above us. It is approximately 14.7 pounds or lbs per square inch at sea level. It means that an air column weights 14.7 lbs, 1 square inch in diameter, reaching all the way up to the top of the atmosphere.
