Answer:
I don't have the number of cubes in each bag, but whichever bag had the most cubes would have the most kinetic energy as it falls
Pressure does not affect the voltage produced in a voltaic cell.
Answer:
a) a0 was 46.2 grams
b) It will take 259 years
c) The fossil is 1845 years old
Explanation:
<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>
A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)
⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams
⇒ A0 = the original amount
⇒ t = time = 8 hours
⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours
46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)
Ao = 261.35 grams
<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>
t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years
It will take 259 years
<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>
<em />
t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845
The fossil is 1845 years old
Answer:
Silver has to give up one electron.
Explanation:
Silver is a transition element and has a partially filled 4d- orbital having 9 electrons and a 5s orbital having 2 electrons in it. In order to achieve stability, silver must have completely filled d-orbital having a maximum number of 10 electrons in it.
Therefore, one electron from 5s orbital jumps to 4d orbital to make it stable. Now, 5s orbital has only one electron, and it will be easy for silver to lose this electron to attain a stable electronic configuration.
