The half-life forms a type of clock used to calculate time passed
noname [10]3 years ago

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.

When body temperature rises during physical activity, which thermoregulatory response is stimulated?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.

Naphthalene, C10H8, melts at 80.2°C. If the vapour pressure of the liquid is 1.3 kPa at 85.8°C and 5.3 kPa at 119.3°C, use th
sweet-ann [11.9K]

(a) One form of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation is

ln(P₂/P₁) = (ΔHv/R) * (1/T₁ - 1/T₂); where in this case:

  • P₁ = 1.3 kPa
  • P₂ = 5.3 kPa
  • T₁ = 85.8°C = 358.96 K
  • T₂ = 119.3°C = 392.46 K

Solving for ΔHv:

  • ΔHv = R * ln(P₂/P₁) / (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)
  • ΔHv = 8.31 J/molK * ln(5.3/1.3) / (1/358.96 - 1/392.46)
  • ΔHv = 49111.12 J/molK

(b) <em>Normal boiling point means</em> that P = 1 atm = 101.325 kPa. We use the same formula, using the same values for P₁ and T₁, and replacing P₂ with atmosferic pressure, <u>solving for T₂</u>:

  • ln(P₂/P₁) = (ΔHv/R) * (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)
  • 1/T₂ = 1/T₁ - [ ln(P₂/P₁) / (ΔHv/R) ]
  • 1/T₂ = 1/358.96 K - [ ln(101.325/1.3) / (49111.12/8.31) ]
  • 1/T₂ = 2.049 * 10⁻³ K⁻¹
  • T₂ = 488.1 K = 214.94 °C

(c)<em> The enthalpy of vaporization</em> was calculated in part (a), and it does not vary depending on temperature, meaning <u>that at the boiling point the enthalpy of vaporization ΔHv is still 49111.12 J/molK</u>.
