Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

What is the density of motor oil in g/mL if 1.25 quart (qt) weighs 2.25 pounds (lb)?
Doss [256]

Answer:

0.86 g/mL

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, you have to know the formula for "Density." Density refers to<em> </em><em>"mass per unit volume." </em><em>It's formula is:</em>

  • <em>Density (ρ) = </em>\frac{mass}{Volume}<em />

Next, we have to convert the units of measurement in accordance to what is being asked in the problem. It is asking for "g/mL," which means we have to convert 1.25 quarts<em> (qt.) </em>to mL and 2.25 pounds<em> (lbs.)</em> to grams.

Let's solve.

  • 1 quart = 946.35 mL

1.25 qt. x \frac{946.35 mL}{1 qt.} =<em> 1,182.94 mL</em>

  • 1 pound = 453.592 grams

2.25 pounds x \frac{453.592 grams}{1 pound} = <em>1,020.58 grams</em>

Now that we converted them to their appropriate units of measurement, we can now solve for density.

  • <em>ρ = </em>\frac{mass}{Volume}<em />
  • <em>ρ = </em>\frac{1,020.58 grams}{1,182.94 mL}<em />
  • <em>ρ = 0.86 g/mL</em>

<em>The density of the motor oil is 0.86 g/mL</em>

Which best describes the bond that would form between lithium (Li) and fluorine (F)?
allsm [11]
Lithium is a metal and Fluorine is a non-metal, which means they will form an ionic bond. An ionic bond is when a metal atom donates its electron complete to a non-metal atom.

Which of the following quantities contains the greatest number of particles?
Nadya [2.5K]
I believe the correct answer would be the last option. All of the quantities given above contain the same number of particles. We determine this by using the avogadro's number. It represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. 

2 moles of carbon atoms ( 6.022 x 10^23 particles / mole  ) = 1.20 x10^24 particles
<span>
2 moles of carbon dioxide molecules </span>( 6.022 x 10^23 particles / mole  ) = 1.20 x10^24 particles<span>

2 moles of diatomic oxygen molecules </span>( 6.022 x 10^23 particles / mole  ) = 1.20 x10^24 particles

As you can see, no matter what is the gas as long as they have the same number of moles, they would also have same number of particles<span />
