study figure 10-3. how much nitrogen-14 will be produced from a 200-g sample of carbon 14 after 17,190 years

1 answer:

8 0

For this problem, we use the formula for radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.

We calculate as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt
0.5 = e^-k(5730)
k = 1.21x10^-4

An = Aoe^-kt
An = 200e^-1.21x10^-4(17190)
An = 25

Therefore, about 175g is produced.

4. What is the overall nuclear fusion reaction in the Sun? Briefly describe the proton–proton chain.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Nuclear fusion is the source of all energy the Sun releases into space. The Sun fuses hydrogen at a steady rate, thanks to a natural feedback process that acts as a thermostat for the Sun's interior (p-p chain). Solar energy production remains steady because the rate of nuclear fusion is very sensitive to temperature.

<h3>Nuclear fusion</h3>

When two or more atomic nuclei join, one or more new atomic nuclei and subatomic particles are created. This reaction is known as nuclear fusion (neutrons or protons). Energy is released or absorbed depending on how much mass the reactants and products have in common.

The atomic nuclei before and after the reaction had different nuclear binding energies, which is how this difference in mass developed. Active or main sequence stars, along with other high-magnitude stars, are powered by nuclear fusion, which releases enormous amounts of energy. Energy will often be released during nuclear fusion that creates atomic nuclei lighter than iron-56 or nickel-62. Both their mass and nucleon binding energy are relatively high for these elements.

What is the wavelength (in meters) of an electromagnetic wave whose frequency is 2.63 × 1012 s−1?

aleksklad [387]

To find the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave for the given frequency can be determined by using the formulaSpeed=Wavelength x FrequencyWavelength=Speed/FrequencyGenerally Speed of the electromagnetic wave is 3x10^8 m/sBy substituting the values Wavelength=3x10^8 m/s / 2.63x10^12 s^-1Wavelength=1.14 x 10^-4 metres

Question 17:

False; cutting hair would change what it looks like but, braiding it keeps it the same substance it is.

Question 18 :

My best guess would either be A or D. I would lean more towards D because if there are different mixtures then it depends on what you are mixing.

Hope it helps in some way. <3

Claim The student hopes the samples are gold, which has a density of 19.3 g/cm3 . A local geologist suggested that samples might

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Pyrite.

Explanation:

In this case, for the given samples, we compute the densities considering that the volume of each sample is computed by the difference between the volume of the water + sample and the volume of water:

$\rho_1=\frac{50.25g}{(60.3-50.1)mL}=4.92g/mL\\ \\\rho_2=\frac{63.56g}{(62.5-49.8)mL}=5.01g/mL\\\\\rho_3=\frac{g}{(61.5-50.2)mL}=5.10g/mL\\\\\rho_4=\frac{55.35g}{(56.7-45.6)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_5=\frac{74.92g}{(65.3-50.3)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_6=\frac{67.78g}{(60.8-47.5)mL}=5.10g/mL$

Therefore, since the density of the samples are closer to the density of pyrite (5.01 g/cm³) we conclude that the samples are more like to be pyrite.

Best regards.
