Answer:

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.

Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 + ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 + ₋₁⁰β

A rectangular block has the following dimensions: 3.21 dm, 5.83 cm, and 1.84 in. The block has a mass of 1.94 kg. What is the de

spin [16.1K]

The density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

Given the following data:

Mass of block = 22.8 gra1.94 kg

Length of block = 3.21 cm

Width of block = 5.83 cm

Height of block = 1.84 in.

To find the density of the block in g/mL:

First of all, we would determine the volume of the rectangular block by using the following formula:

$Volume = length$ × $width$ × $height$

Conversion:

1 in = 2.54 cm

5.83 in = X cm

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 2.54(5.83)\\\\X = 14.81 \; cm$

$Volume = 3.21$ × $5.83$ × $14.81$

Volume = 277.16 cubic centimeters.

Note: Milliliter (mL) is the same as cubic centimeters.

1000 grams = 1 kg

Y grams = 1.94 kg

Cross-multiplying, we have:

Y = 1940 grams

Now, we can find the density:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\Density = \frac{1940}{277.16}$

Density = 7.0 g/mL

Therefore, the density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

The half life of oxygen is 2 minutes. What fraction of a sample of 0.15 will remain after 5 half lives?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.13%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Half life (t½) = 2 mins

Number of half-life (n) = 5

Fraction of sample remaining =.?

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining (N) after 5 half-life. This can be obtained as follow:

Amount remaining (N) = 1/2ⁿ × original amount (N₀)

NOTE: n is the number of half-life.

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 0.15

N = 1/32 × 0.15

N = 0.15/32

N = 4.69×10¯³

Therefore, 4.69×10¯³ is remaining after 5 half-life.

Finally, we shall the fraction of the sample remaining after 5 half-life as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 0.15

Amount remaining (N) = 4.69×10¯³

Fraction remaining = N/N₀ × 100

Fraction remaining = 4.69×10¯³/0.15 × 100

Fraction remaining = 3.13%

Entropy can be thought of as the degree of disorganization of a system. TRUE FALSE

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.
