AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
3 0
Answer is: <span>the size of the sample of uranium-238 does not affect its half-life.
</span><span>
The half-life for the radioactive decay of U-238 is 4.5 billion years and is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).
</span>Half-life <span>is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive uranium) to reduce to half its initial value.</span><span>

During this reaction, P4 + 5O2 → P4O10, 1.5 moles of product were made in seconds. What is the rate of reaction? 0.011 g/min 210
Ivanshal [37]

The answer is: the rate of reaction is 850 g/min.

n(P₄O₁₀) = 1.5 mol; amount of product.

M(P₄O₁₀) = 283.9 g/mol; molar mass of phosphorus(V) oxide.

m(P₄O₁₀) = n(P₄O₁₀) · M(P₄O₁₀).

m(P₄O₁₀) = 1.5 mol · 283.9 g/mol.

m(P₄O₁₀) = 425.85 g in 30 seconds.

Make proportion: 425 g : 30 s = m(P₄O₁₀) : 60 s.

m(P₄O₁₀) = 850 g in 60 s.

The permanent electric dipole moment of the water molecule 1H2O2 is 6.2 * 10-30 C m. What is the maximum possible torque on a wa
stellarik [79]

Answer:

3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

Explanation:  

When placed in an external electric filed, an electric dipole experiences a torque. and this torque is represented mathematically with the equation:

torque (τ) = dipole moment vector (P) x electric field vector (E)

τ = P. E . sin θ

where θ is the angle between the water molecule and the electric field, which in this case is 90° (because this is where the torque is maximum)

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . sin90

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . 1

solve for τ

τ = 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

the maximum possible torque on the water molecule is therefore 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm
