 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

How many liters of fluorine gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 23.5 grams of potassium metal? Show all o
Sladkaya [172]

Potassium 23.5g/39.0983g/mol = 0.601mol

The Ratio of reactants is 2 to 1 so (0.601mol)/2 = 0.3005mol

Therefore 0.3005mol of F2 is needed to find liters use

formula V = nRT/P (V)Volume = 22.41L

(T)Temperature = 273K or 0.0 Celsius

(P)Pressure = 1.0atm

<span>(R)value is always .08206 with atm n = 0.3005moles (273)(.08206)(0.3005)/1 = V V = 6.7319 Liters</span>

The molecular weight of a gas that has a density of 5.75 g/l at stp is __________ g/mol.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : The molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Density of a gas = 5.75 g/L

First we have to calculate the moles of gas.

At STP,

As, 22.4 liter volume of gas present in 1 mole of gas

So, 1 liter volume of gas present in \frac{1}{22.4}=0.0446 mole of gas

Now we have to calculate the molecular weight of a gas.

Formula used :

\text{Moles of gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of a gas}}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the molecular weight of a gas.

0.0446mole=\frac{5.75g}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}

\text{Molecular weight of a gas}=128.9g/mole

Therefore, the molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Types of osmosis...in 50 words​
ICE Princess25 [194]

<h3>Types of Osmosis</h3>

Osmosis is of two types:

Endosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis. This is known as endosmosis.

Exosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis. This is known as exosmosis.
