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.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

Explanation:

3000 lb of 13% solution is required .

Total adhesive in weight = 3000 x .13 = 390 lb of adhesive

Available = 500 lb of 10% solution = 50 lb of adhesive

Rest = 390 - 50 = 340 lb required .

rest mass of solution = 3000 - 500 = 2500 lb

mass of adhesive required = 340 lb

Let the mass of 20% required be V

mass of adhesive = .20 V

.20 V = 340

V = 1700

rest of the volume = 2500 - 1700 = 800 lb which will be of pure solvent

So 800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(s)+B(s)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) +

Tju [1.3M]

Correct question:

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings?

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

(d) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

Answer:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

Explanation:

Work done by a system on the surroundings at a constant pressure is given as;

W = -PΔV

Where;

ΔV is gas expansion, that is final volume of the gas minus initial volume of the gas must be greater than zero.

Part (a)

A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - (0) = 1 (expansion)

Part (b)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

ΔV = 5 - ( 2+ 2) = 1 (expansion)

Part (c)

A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - ( 1 + 1) = -1 (compression)

Part (d)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

ΔV = 3 - ( 4) = -1 (compression)

Thus, systems where there is gas expansion are in part (a) and part (b). The correct answers are:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

The difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.

<h3>What is Concentration Gradient ?</h3>

A concentration gradient occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another.

In passive transport, particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, until they are evenly spaced.

This difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.
