Gamma rays contain much more energy (most penetrating) than radio waves because they have a greater frequencies.
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths (1dm to 100 km), lowest frequencies (3kHz to 3GHz) and lowest energy (124 peV to <span>12,4 μeV).
</span>Gamma rays are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths (1 pm), highest frequencies (300 EHz) and highest energy (1,24 Me<span>V</span>).

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold.

azamat

Answer:

(a) $m_{gold}=7.322g$

(b)

$V_{gold}=0.379cm^3$

$V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, with the given formula we easily compute the mass of gold contained in the sovereign as shown below:

$m_{gold}=\frac{m_{tota}*karats}{24}=\frac{7.988g*22}{24}=7.322g$

(b) Now, by knowing the density of gold and copper, 19.32 and 8.94 g/cm³ respectively, we compute each volume, by also knowing that the rest of the coin contains copper:

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}} =\frac{7.322g}{19.32g/cm^3}=0.379cm^3$

$m_{copper}=7.988g-7.322g=1.09g\\V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}=\frac{1.09g}{8.94g/cm^3} \\\\V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

$\rho _{coin}=\frac{m_{total}}{V_{gold}+V_{copper}}=\frac{7.988 g}{0.379cm^3+0.122cm^3}\\ \\\rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3$

Best regards.

You have just isolated a new radioactive element. If you can determine its half-life, you will win the Nobel Prize in physics. Y

lbvjy [14]

Answer: 2.58 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = age of sample = 6 days

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.2 g

a) to find the rate constant

$6=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=\frac{2.303}{6}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=0.268days^{-1}$

b) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.268}=2.58days$

The half life is 2.58 days

a chemical reaction produced 2.50 moles of nitrogen gas. what volume in liters, does this gas sample occupy at STP? (show your w

Harrizon [31]

The volume of N₂ at STP=56 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2.5 moles of N₂

Required

The volume of the gas

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume-Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.

So for 2.5 moles gas :

$\tt 2.5\times 22.4=56~L$
