You place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray of a triple beam balance and then set the rider on the 500 gram beam to th
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

  • <u>The pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark; it will be above the zero mark.</u>

Explanation:

Althoug the list of statements is not provided, you can assure that the pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark, but above the zero mark.

A <em>triple beam balance</em> is very precise instrument, of common use in most labs, used to measure masses. It has three beams. Each beam works for different precisions and mass increments. One beam measures 1 g increments, other beam measures 10 g increments, and the other one 100 g increments.

If you place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray, then the weight will be balanced in the beams with 200 grams in the beam that reads increments of 100 g and 50 grams in the beam that reads increments of 10 g. When this is the situation, the weight is completely balanced, and the pointer will be lined up with the zero mark. But this is not the case.

When the rider on the 500 gram beam is set to the 200 gram mark, and the other riders are set to 0 grams, the weight of the mass (250 g) on the tray is greater than the force exerted by the rider on the beam (200 g) and so the tray will be below the level of balance, and the beam will be above the level of balance. The level of balance is indicated when the pointer is lined up with the zero mark.

Under what pressure will a scientist need to store 0.400 miles of gas if the container has a volume of 200.0 mL and the temperat
mihalych1998 [28]
Hello!

Ok so for this problem we use the ideal gas law of PV=nRT and I take it that the scientist needs to store 0.400 moles of gas and not miles.

So if we have
n=0.400mol
V=0.200L
T= 23degC= 273k+23c=296k
R=ideal gas constant= 0.0821 L*atm/mol*k

So now we rearrange equation for pressure(P)

P=nRT/V
P=((0.400mol)*(0.0821 L*atm/mol*k)*(296k))/(0.200L) = 48.6 atm of pressure

Hope this helps you understand the concept and how to solve yourself in the future!! Any questions, please feel free to ask!! Thank you kindly!!!

If the half life of a radioactive isotope is 1 day, then how much of the original isotope remains at the end of two days?
ikadub [295]

\huge{\color{magenta}{\fcolorbox{magenta}{black}{\huge{\color{white}{\fcolorbox{aqua}{black}{✿ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ✿}}}}}}

25%

Explanation:

In a half life of a radioactive isotope is 1 day,it means it loses its half mass each day

We a formula for N half life

\sf  { \frac{1}{2} }^{n}

where n is the number of days

Here the isotope is kept for 2 days

so it's left over mass will be

\sf { (\frac{1}{2}) }^{2}  \\  \\  \\  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \sf  \frac{1}{4}

It's left over mass 1/4th of the original mass

Now, we need to find it's percentage by multiplying with 100

\sf  \frac{1}{4}  \times 100 \%\\  \\  \sf   \cancel\frac{100}{4} \% \\  \\  \sf 25\%

<u>So</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u>%</u><u> </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>will</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>day</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>half</u><u> </u><u>life</u><u> </u><u>radioactive</u><u> </u><u>isotope</u><u>.</u><u> </u>
