A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

$m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_A=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m$

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

$m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_B=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m$

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

$d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m$

You need to build a prototype with machined parts that withstand a saline corrosive environment and temperatures above 200 degre

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Stainless steel

Explanation:

I will try to order the solutions from the least correct to the most correct.

Since a temperature greater than 200 ° F is required, that is to say approximately 93 ° c, Polycaprolactone is the least indicated. Its melting point is approximately 60 ° C, so it would not serve the required application.

On the other hand we have Untreated aluminum, which although it has a melting point higher than the required one, without a zinc and magnesium treatment it will easily oxidize in a salty environment, so it cannot be used in this choice either.

We have to compare the two steels.

The Mild Steel has a better corrosion resistance than the previous ones, but in a long-term cycle it will end up full of corrosion and therefore its properties will be highly affected.

Finally, we have stainless steel, which, as the name implies, contains in some of its variations chromium, zinc or magnesium in its alloys, which makes it highly resistant to corrosion.

In addition its melting point is above 1500 ° c.

The best choice is stainless steel.

A student measures the mass 8cm block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar.

antoniya [11.8K]

Correction

A student measures the mass 8cm3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

$1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as $\rho=\frac {m}{v}$ where $\rho$ is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be

$\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}$
