Answer:
G<0, spontanteous
H<0, from equation
S>0, gas to solid
Explanation:
The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.
G<0, spontanteous
H<0, from equation
S>0, gas to solid
1.267 x 10 ^ 24 is the total number of atoms
Its mass will stay the same
Answer: The statement is true
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time taken for half of the total number of atoms in a given sample of the isotope to decay.
For instance
The half-life of radium is 1622 years. This means that if we have 1000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622 years, 500 atoms would have disintegrated, leaving 500 undecayed radium atoms
Thus, the statement is true
Without its atmosphere, Earth would be
bombarded by meteorites, similar to mars, relatively lifeless. Without the atmosphere objects can just enter the atmosphere and cause serious harm to us, but with the atmosphere it basically reduces damage and shrinks it to size. Without the atmosphere earth would be like mars since it doesn't have a atmosphere. Without the atmosphere earth would be relatively lifeless since without air, us humans cant breathe so we will not survive.
