Compare and contrast a pure substance with a mixture and give an example.

1 answer:

3 0

Of any substance? What about two powders such as 1/2 cup of white flour, then mixing 1/2 cup of salt together with the flour. This would then form a more coarse mixture being that the two particles differ in shape.

The lung capacity of the blue whale is 4900 L . Convert this volume into gallons

adell [148]

1 liter = 2.11 pints
8 pints = 1 gallon

4900 L * (2.11 pints/1 L) * (1 gallon/8 pints) = 1292.375 gallons

4900 has 2 significant figures, so our final answer should have two. Your final answer is 1300 gallons.

What do you think happens to the bonds between atoms when substances melt?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker. This is why a liquid can take fill the shape of its container, whereas a solid has a fixed shape.

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

$_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma$

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

$_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}$

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
