Answer: Polythene

Polythene is a synthetic polymer classified as plastics.

Explanation:

Polythene is formed artificially from several repeating units of ethene molecules (monomers) in a reaction known as polymerization.

The polyethene can be represented as [CH2-CH2]n, where n is thousands to ten thousands unit of ethene.

It is used to make

- plastic bags,

- cable insulators

- plastic crates etc

Thus, polythene is a synthetic polymer of ethene, and classified as plastics.

Answer:

Polyethylene

Explanation:

They are man made polymers consisting of several long chain monomers of the same chemical composition. It has a chemical formula of (C2H4)n where n is the number of units or chain.

It is the most popular synthetic polymer due to its easy, simple structure and lightweight compared to other synthetic polymers produced commercially.

It is used in making grocery bags, automobile parts etc.

each of the following nuclides is used in nuclear medicine. list them in order of most active to least active
Naddika [18.5K]

Different radioactive nuclides decay into their respective daughter nuclides at distinct rates. Some of the nuclides decay briskly, while others decay gradually. The time it consumes for half of the parent nuclide in a radioactive sample to decay to the daughter nuclides is known as the half-life of the radioactive sample.  

The nuclides, which decay briskly exhibit short half-lives and are very active. The half-life can be utilized to find the rates of radioactive decay. In the given question, the half-lives of various nuclides are given. So, the order to the most active (shortest half-life or largest number of decays per second) to least reactive (largest half-life or the smallest number of decays per second) is:  

Tc-99m > Y-90 > In-111 > I-131

A student increases the temperature of a 556 cm3 balloon from 278 K to 308 K. Assuming constant pressure, what should the new vo
Mandarinka [93]
The answer is:  [D]:  " 417 cm³ " .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:  Use the formula:

V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂  ;

in which:  V₁ = initial volume = 556 cm³ ;
                T₁ = initial temperature = 278 K ;
                V₂ = final ("new") temperature = 308 K
                T₂ = final ("new:) volume = ?

Solve for  "V₂" ;

Since:  V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂ ;

We can rearrange this "equation/formula" to isolate "V₂" on one side of the equation; and then we can plug in our know values to solve for "V₂" ;
_______________________________________________________
       V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂  ;  Multiply EACH side of the equation by "T₂ " :

          →  T₂ (V₁ /T₁) = T₂  (V₂ /T₂) ;
______________________________
to get:

↔ T₂  (V₂ /T₂) = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;

     →  V₂ = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;
______________________________
Now, plug in our known values, to solve for "V₂" ;
______________________________
    →  V₂ = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;
______________________________
    →  V₂ = 308 K ( 556 cm³ /278 K)  ;
             → The units of "K" cancel to "1" ; and we have:
________________________________________________________
    →  V₂ = 308*( 556 cm³ / 278 ) = [(208 * 556) / 278 ] cm³ ;
Note:  We will keep the units of volume as:  "cm³ ";  since all the answer choices given are in units of:  "cm³ " ; {that is, "cubic centimeters"}.

   →  [(208 * 556) / 278 ] cm³ = [ (115,648) / (278) ] cm³ ;
                                        
              → For the "(115,648)" ;  round to "3 (three significant figures)" ;
                        → "(115,648)" → rounds to:  "116,000" ;
____________________________________________________
              →      (116,000) / (278) = 417.2661870503597122  ;
                                 → round to 3 significant figures; → "417 cm³ " ;
                                               → which corresponds with "choice [D]".
______________________________________________________
The answer is:  [D]:  "417 cm³ " .
