Explanation:
The given data for case (1) is as follows.
h = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Assuming that a rectangular slab is placed above the pipe and we will calculate the heat transfer as follows.
Q = 
where, A = area
L = length
k = thermal conductivity = 0.8 W/m
= change in temperature.
Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
= 
= 168 W
For case (2), h = 180 cm = 1.8 m
Therefore, heat lost will be calculated as follows.
Q =
= 
= 18.67 W
Thus, we can conclude that 18.67 W heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm.
Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
Answer:
less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant
Explanation:
Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).
According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.
Answer:
The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:
- <u>option D: Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>
Explanation:
The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.
You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.
Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope
Sample Chemical symbol Element atomic number # of protons
A Pa-238 Pa protactinium 91 91
B U-240 U uranium 92 92
C Np-238 Np neptunium 93 93
D Pu-239 Pu plutonium 94 94
Answer:
Half-life = 3 minutes
Explanation:
Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:
K = ln2 / Half-life
We can find half-life of polonium-218
Radioactive decay:
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Where:
[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg
k is Reaction constant, our incognite
t are 12 min
[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]
-2.7726 = - k*12min
k = 0.231min⁻¹
Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹
<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>
