2. In a well-known movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is a famous scene in which the hero tries to outwit the designers of a

trap by replacing a gold statue with a bag of sand of about the same volume.
a) Knowing that the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL and sand is 3.1 g/mL, does this seem like a scientifically reasonable plan? Why or why not?

b) In the movie, the hero grabs the gold statue with one hand and appears to handle it quite easily. Given that the volume of the statue appears to be about 1 L, find the mass of the statue.

Answer:

I cant answer B, but I can answer A, and I don't think it is  a scientifically reasonable plan.  

Explanation:

The bag of sand weighs less than the gold statue, and yes the bag of sand seems like it would keep the trap from activating, but you would scientifically have to put something that was the same weight as the gold statue on the pedestal that the statue is on.

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle
Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of 4.71\times 10^{-15}J . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.624\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of beta particle = 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg

E_k = kinetic energy of the particle = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Law Incorporation [45]

Aspartame (C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅) is a solid used as an artificial sweetener. its combustion produces carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and nitrogen gas

C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ + 16O₂-----> 14CO₂ + 9H₂O + N₂.

As it can be seen from the equation, that the coefficient of nitrogen gas in the balanced equation for the reaction is 1.

So the answer here is 1 only that is coefficient of nitrogen gas in the balanced equation for the reaction is 1.
