Answer:

An insect would have an easier time walking on the surface of water than on the surface of ethanol.

Water’s stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher surface tension.

Higher surface tension allows water to support the insect.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Elements in group fourteen are mostly known to form compounds in which there are four electron domains leading to a tetrahedral electron domain geometry.

However, the presence of lone pairs affects the shape of the molecule. SnCl3− has four electron domains, three of them are bond pairs while one is a lone pair. The shape of the molecule is based on a tetrahedron, however the observed geometry is trigonal pyramidal due to the presence of the lone pair. Its bond angle is now less than the predicted 109 degrees.

What are the significance of metals in human life and civilization?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Metals have an important role in our daily life. The discovery of the metal is said to be the most important milestone in the history of human civilization. We cannot live without machines now. All machines are made up of metals. Machines reduce the work of man. Many modern facilities would not have been possible without metals. Most metals occur as their compounds in nature.

Polonium- 210 , Po210 , decays to lead- 206 , Pb206 , by alpha emission according to the equation Po84210⟶Pb82206+He24 If the ha
elixir [45]

Answer:

0.269 g

Explanation:

Po_{210} ^{84}  ⟶  Pb_{206} ^{82}+  + He_{4} ^{2}

Data:

Half-life of  Po_{210} ^{84}  (T(1/2)) = 138.4 days

Mass of PoCl4 = 561 mg (0,561 g) and molecular weight of PoCl4 = 350. 79 g/mol  

Time = 338.8 days  

Isotopic masses  

Po_{210} ^{84} = 209.98 g/mol  

Pb_{206} ^{82} = 205.97 g/mol  

Concepts  

Avogadro’s number: This is the number of constituent particles that are contained in a mol of any substance. These constituted particles can be atoms, molecules or ions). Its value is 6.023*10^23.  

The radioactive decay law is  

N=Noe^(-λt)

Where:  

No = number of atoms in t=0

N = number of atoms in t=t (now) in this case t=338.8 days  

λ= radioactive decay constant  

The radioactive constant is related to the half-life by the next equation  

λ= \frac{ln 2}{t(1/2)}

so  

λ= \frac{ln2}{138.4 days}  =0,005008 days^(-1)

No (Atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}  in t=0)

To get No we need to calculate the number of atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}   in the initial sample. We have a sample of 0,561 g of PoCl4. If we get the number of moles of PoCl4 in the sample, this will be the number of moles of  Po_{210} ^{84}  in the initial sample.  

This is:

\frac{0,561 g of PoCl4}{350. 79 g of PoCl4 /mol} = 0,001599 mol of  PoCl4

This is the number of mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} in the initial sample.

To get the number of atoms in the initial sample we use the Avogadro’s number = 6.023*10^23  

0,001599 mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} * 6.023*10^23 atoms/ mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} = 9.632 *10^20 atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}

Atoms after 338.8 days

We use the radioactive decay law to get this value  

N=Noe^(-λt)

N=9.632*10^20 e^(-0,005008 days^(-1) * 338.8 days) =1.765*10^20

This is the number of atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84} in the sample after 338.8 days has passed  

The number of atoms  Po_{210} ^{84} transformed is equal to the number of atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82}  produced.  

The number of atoms of Po_{210} ^{84} transformed is No - N  

9.632 *10^20 – 1.765 *10^20 = 7.866*10^20

So, 7.866*10^20 is the number of atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} produced  

We can get the mass with the Avogadro’s number

(7.866*10^20 atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} ) / ( 6.023*10^23 atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} / mol of Pb_{206} ^{82} =  0.001306 moles of Pb_{206} ^{82}

This number of moles have a mass of:

(0,001306 moles of Pb_{206} ^{82} )* (205.97 g of Pb_{206} ^{82} /mol of Pb_{206} ^{82} ) = 0.269 g
