Answer:

The activity of a radioactive substance is measured in terms of the number of disintegrations a given radioactive sample undergoes in one second. ... More the active atoms present in the ample, more is the number of disintegrations that happen per second. It depends on the decay constant of the radioactive substance.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct

klasskru [66]

I would say C is the most correct.
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future.
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.

Consider the generic reaction: 2 A(g) + B(g) → 2 C(g). If a flask initially contains 1.0 atm of A and 1.0 atm of B, what is the

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

b. 1.5 atm.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction suggests that two moles of A react with one moles of B to produce two moles of C, for the final pressure we can write:

$P=P_A+P_B+P_C$

Now, if we introduce the stoichiometry, and the change in the pressure $x$ we can write:

$P=1.0-2x+1.0-x+2x$

Nevertheless, since the reaction goes to completion, all A is consumed and there is a leftover of B, and that consumed A is:

$x=\frac{1.0atm}{2}=0.5atm$

Thus, the final pressure is:

$P=1.0-2(0.5)+1.0-(0.5)+2(0.5)\\\\P=1.5atm$

Therefore the answer is b. 1.5 atm.

Best regards!

galben [10]

Answer: the answer is c.The unbalanced push causes the cart to speed up.

Explanation:

The application of an unbalanced force (the push) causes the cart to speed up. When the cart is in constant motion, the forces are balanced and there is no speeding up. Once an unbalanced force is added, the cart's speed changes.
