Plutonium-236 is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 2.86 years. how long will it take for the 1.10 mg sample of pu−236 to deca

lawyer [7]

1.1 / 2 = .7 --> 2.86 yrs

.7 / 2 = .45 —> 5.72 yrs

.45 / 2 = .225 —> 8.58 yrs

.225 / 2 = .1125 —> 11.44 yrs

So, for the sample of plutonium to reach .140 mg it should take a little less than 11.44 years.

Hope this helps

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga

vovikov84 [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Initial volume, V1 = 3.5 L
Initial pressure, P1 = 0.8 atm
Final pressure, P2 = 0.5 atm

We are required to calculate the final volume;

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.

That is; P α 1/V
Mathematically, P=k/V
At two different pressure and volume;

P1V1 = P2V2

In this case;

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = P1V1 ÷ P2

= (0.8 atm × 3.5 L) ÷ 0.5 atm

= 5.6 L

Therefore, the resulting volume is 5.6 L

Luba_88 [7]

Complete Question

A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 74.0 wide. The biologist estimates she will need 2600 L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

The pressure required is $P_2= 12.2 \ atm$

Explanation:

Generally the volume of a sphere is mathematically denoted as

$V_s = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

Substituting $r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{74}{2} = 37cm$

$V_s = \frac{4}{3} * 3.42 * (37)^2$

$V_s = 2.121746 *10^5 cm^3$

Converting to Liters

$V_s = \frac{2.121746 *10^5}{1000}$

$V_s= 212.1746L$

Assume that the pressure at which the air is given to the diver is 1 atm when the air was occupying a volume of 2600L

From Charles law

$P_1V_1 = P_2 V_s$

Substituting $V_1 =2600 L$ , $P_1 = 1 atm$ , $V_s =212.1746L$ , and making $P_2$ the subject we have

$P_2 = \frac{P_1 * V_1}{V_s}$

$= \frac{1 * 2600}{212.1746}$

$P_2= 12.2 atm$

How does a scientist form a hypothesis

marysya [2.9K]

The way scientists form a hypothesis is there is something called the scientific method. You established your question or problem first. Then you research it. You take your hypothesis, theory, or prediction of what is going to happen from your research.

Caluclate the volume of0,25 mol dm -^3 hydrochloric acid required to neutralize 2.0 dm^3 of 0,15 mol dm-^3 barium hydroxide

inessss [21]

Answer:

2.4 dm-3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) -------> BaCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Volume of acid VA = ??

Concentration of acid CA = 0.25 moldm-3

Volume of base VB = 2.0 dm^3

Concentration of base CB = 0.15 moldm-3

Number of moles of acid NA = 2

Number of moles of base NB = 1

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

VA = CBVBNA/CANB

VA = 0.15 * 2 * 2/0.25 *1

VA = 2.4 dm-3
