Our breath is so much hotter than the air around us that exhaling produces steam.

I believe its because our breath freezes when in the air, and forms fog.

Calculate the fraction of methyl isonitrile molecules that have an energy of 160.0 kJ or greater at 510 K .

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

$4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}$

Explanation:

$E_a$ = Activation energy = 160 kJ

T = Temperature = 510 K

R = Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

The fraction of energy is given by

$f=e^{-\dfrac{E_a}{RT}}\\\Rightarrow f=e^{-\dfrac{160000}{8.314\times 510}}\\\Rightarrow f=4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}$

The fraction of energy is $4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}$

What force is required to move an object 8 m using 24 j of work?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Explanation:

Workdone = F x d

F = force

d = distance 8m

Workdone = 24J

24 = F x 8

Divide both sides by 8

24/8 = F x 8/8

3 = F

F = 3N

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize som

babymother [125]

Answer:

860.6 years.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Initial detector activity = 370000 alpha decays per second

Final detector activity = 93000 alpha decays per second

Formula for time to change in activity is given by the following relation;

$t_{93000} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{A}{A_0} }{\lambda} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{93000}{370000} }{5.08 \times 10^{-11}} = 2.72 \times 10^{10} \, seconds$

t₉₃₀₀₀ = 2.72 × 10¹⁰ seconds = 860.6 years.
