Explanation:
Specific heat capacity is how much is required to heat the unit of mass by one degree. Therefore, if you have a higher heat capacity it required more energy, therefore, it takes longer to heat up. whereas having a lower heat capacity it takes less time to best up as it requires less energy.
Answer:
The entropy change in the environment is 3.62x10²⁶.
Explanation:
The entropy change can be calculated using the following equation:
Where:
Q: is the energy transferred = 5.0 MJ
: is the Boltzmann constant = 1.38x10⁻²³ J/K
: is the initial temperature = 1000 K
: is the final temperature = 500 K
Hence, the entropy change is:
Therefore, the entropy change in the environment is 3.62x10²⁶.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.
Explanation:
The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.
The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.
- All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
- The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.
The answer would be periods 6-7 :)
