Say you have a rock composed entirely of potassium-40. After two half-lives of potassium-40, what fraction of the rock is still

composed of potassium-40?

<u>Answer:</u> The fraction of the rock that is still composed of potassium-40 is 0.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the fraction of the rock that is still composed of K-40, we use the formula:

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant

n = number of half lives = 2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{a}{a_o}=\frac{1}{2^2}\\\\\frac{a}{a_o}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Hence, the fraction of the rock that is still composed of potassium-40 is 0.25

How do particles of gas create pressure
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Gas pressure is caused when the gas particles hit the walls of their container. The more often the particles hit the walls, and the faster they are moving when they do this, the higher the pressure. This is why the pressure in a tyre or balloon goes up when more air is pumped in

Low energy waves have (3 points)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Low energy waves have <u>a long wavelength.</u>

Explanation:

Energy of wave is directly related to  the frequency while it is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

If any wave have high energy it will have high frequency and smaller wavelength.

If the wave have lower energy then it will have lower frequency and higher wavelength.

Mathematical relationship:

E = h. f

E = h. c/λ

E= energy

h = planck's constant

f = frequency

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

<h3>What are the gas laws?</h3>

The gas laws are used to describe the parameters that has to do with gases.

Given that;

P1 = 98.5 kPa

T1 = 18oC or 291 K

V1 =  74.0 dm3

P2 =  7.0 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 18oC or 291 K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 =P2V2T1

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  98.5 kPa *  74.0 dm3 * 291 K/ 7.0 kPa * 291 K

V2 = 1041.3 dm3

When;

V1 = 1041.3 dm3

T1 = 291 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 80oC or 353 K

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = V1T2/T1

V2 = 1041.3 dm3 * 353 K/291 K

V2 = 1263 dm3

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

Given that

V1 =  100 cm^3

T1 = 273 K

P1 = 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

V2 = ?

P2 =  3.00 x 10^-4 Pa

T2 = -180oC or 255 K

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  1.01 * 10^5 Pa * 100 cm^3 * 255 K / 3.00 x 10^-4 Pa * 273 K

V2 = 3.14 * 10^10 cm^3
