How much time would it take for 5.2 x 10^5 atoms of fermium-253 (half-life 3 days) to decay to 6.5 x 104 atoms?

Jlenok [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

9 days, or 3 half-lives

Explanation:

5.2x10^5=520000

6.5x10^4=65000

65000/520000=1/8, or 3 half-lives

3x3=9 days

I'm not the greatest at Chem but this seems more like math than Chem :)

Which has higher frequency - neutron or electron? Why?
Alexeev081 [22]
The electron has a higher frequency compared to the neutron. It can be explained by the way an electron orbits the nucleus of an atom. 

According to Quantum Mechanics, electrons do not really orbit the nucleus of an atom. In fact, the most tightly bound state, the 1s orbital, has no angular momentum at all. This would be the state with the most "kinetic energy" and yet there is no "orbital" motion at all in this state.  

<span>However, there are frequencies associated with each orbital.

given the following list of densities, which material would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves m
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Given the following list of densities, which materials would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves melt?

Densities (g/mL): lead = 11.4, glass = 2.6, gold = 19.3, charcoal = 0.57, platinum = 21.4.

glass and charcoal

Explanation:

The density of molten lead is about 10.65Kg/m^3

By Archimedes principles, the buoyancy of an object in a fluid is proportional to the mass of fluid displaced

which in turn is proportional to the object's density

Generally an object well float when placed on a denser medium

glass =2.6, and charcoal =0.57 are both less dense so they will float on Lead

How are we made from star debris? What does this mean? Explain
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

How star stuff got to Earth

When it has exhausted its supply of hydrogen, it can die in a violent explostion, called a nova. The explosion of a massive star, called a supernova, can be billions of times as bright as the Sun , according to "Supernova," (World Book, Inc., 2005). Such a stellar explosion throws a large cloud of dust and gas into space, with the amount and composition of the material expelled varying depending on the type of supernova.

A supernova reaches its peak brightness a few days after it first occurred, during which time it may outshine an entire galaxy of stars. The dead star then continues to shine intensely for several weeks before gradually fading from view, according to "Supernova."

The material from a supernova eventually disperses throughout interstellar space. The oldest stars almost exclusively consisted of hydrogen and helium, with oxygen and the rest of the heavy elements in the universe later coming from supernova explosions, according to "Cosmic Collisions: The Hubble Atlas of Merging Galaxies," (Springer, 2009).

"It's a well-tested theory," Impey said. "We know that stars make heavy elements, and late in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars and planets (and people)."

Cosmic connections

So, all life on Earth and the atoms in our bodies were created in the furnace of now-long-dead stars, he said.

In 2002, music artist Moby released "We Are All Made of Stars," explaining during a press interview that his lyrics were inspired by quantum physics. "On a basic quantum level, all the matter in the universe is essentially made up of stardust," he said.
