Answer: 2.48×10^-17 J

Explanation:

Given the following :

Wavelength = 8nm (8 x 10^-9 m)

Energy(e) of X-ray =?

Energy=[speed of light(c) × planck's constant (h)] ÷ wavelength

Speed of light = 3×10^8m/s

Planck's constant = 6.626×10^-34 Js

Wavelength = 8 x 10^-9 m

Energy = [(3×10^8) * (6.626×10^-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = [19.878×10^(8-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = 2.48475 × 10^(-26+9)

Energy = 2.48×10^-17 J

The half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years. How much plutonium will remain after 1000 years if the initial a

Anestetic [448]

The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g

The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives

Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives

Mi is the initial mass of the sample

To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)

n=1000/24100=0.0414

So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g

The mass remaining is 2.5 g

The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

At a particular temperature, K 3.39 for the reaction SO2(9) + NO2(9) SOs(9) +NO(9) If all four gases had initial concentrations

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentrations are:

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.563 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 1.04 M

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Equilibrium constant K = 3.39

[SO2] = [NO2] = [SO3] = [NO] = 0.800 M

<u>To determine:</u>

The equilibrium concentrations of the above gases

Calculation:

Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction

$SO2(g) + NO2(g)\rightleftharpoons SO3(g) + NO(g)$

I 0.800 0.800 0.800 0.800

C -x -x +x +x

E (0.800-x) (0.800-x) (0.800+x) (0.800+x)

The equilibrium constant is given as:

$Keq = \frac{[SO3][NO]}{[SO2][NO2]}=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

$3.39=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

x = 0.2368 M

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.800 -x = 0.800 - 0.2368 = 0.5632 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 0.800 +x = 0.800 + 0.2368 = 1.037 M

What substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water

dusya [7]

Polar or ionic substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.

<h3>What substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water?</h3>

Ionic substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water because water is also a polar by nature. We know that like dissolve like so polar substances dissolve in water and dissociate into ions i.e. positive an negative ions.

So we can conclude that polar or ionic substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
