Answer:

The time an unstable nuclei takes to decay is called the half-life of a radioactive isotope.

The half-life of a radioisotope is important in radioactive dating because it can be used to calculate the age of fossils by measuring the carbon absorbed.

What is the specific heat of the solid phase? (Please see picture attached)
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B.0.2 J/g°C

Explanation:

From the attached picture;

  • Heat attained in the solid phase is 200 Joules
  • Change in temperature is 50°C ( from 0°C to 50°C)
  • Mass of the solid is 20 g

We are required to determine the specific heat capacity of the substance;

  • We need to know that Quantity of heat is given by the product of mass,specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is; Q = mcΔT

Rearranging the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore;

Specific heat = 200 J ÷ (20 g × 50°c)

                      = 0.2 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat of the solid is 0.2 J/g°C

Which has more calories: table sugar or aspartame?
Alina [70]
Aspartame produces 4 kilocalories of energy per gram when metabolized, While table sugar produces 3.9 kilocalories. However, aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than table of sugar, so it is consumed in much smaller doses. Then we can say that they're pretty much the same
