An environmentally-conscious student is breaking the rings from a six-pack drink holder before disposing of it. This reduces the

potential for the six-pack ring to ensnare wildlife and cause ecological harm. In breaking the rings, the student notices that the plastic rings heat up. What argument supports that this is an exothermic chemical reaction?

Answer: seen below.

Explanation:

Firstly we need to remember what exothermic reaction is in thermodynamics. exothermic reaction describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, sound, or electricity.

In this scenario, due to the heating up nature noticed by the ring during breaking shows that energy is being released to the surrounding in the form of heat which suggest it being an exothermic reaction.

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope?
azamat
The best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope is the neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of elements having the same number of protons however they don't have the same number of neutrons. Each isotope of an element will have different values of mass number.

A ball is spun around in circular motion such that it completes 50 rotations in 25 s. What is the frequency of its rotation? 2.
Elis [28]

Answer:

1. f = 2 Hz

2. f = 0.011 Hz

3. f = 0.067 Hz

4. t = 4 s

Explanation:

1. The frequency of rotation is given by:

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}

Where:

ω: is the angular speed = 50 rotations (revolutions) in 25 s.

We need to convert the units of ω.

\omega = \frac{50 rev}{25 s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 4\pi rad/s

Now, the frequency is:

f = \frac{4\pi rad/s}{2\pi} = 2 Hz

2. The frequency is:

We know:

5 laps = 5 revolutions

t: time = 450 s

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{\frac{5 rev}{450 s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}}{2\pi} = 0.011 Hz    

3. The frequency of the pendulum is:

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{\frac{1 rev}{15 s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}}{2\pi} = 0.067 Hz

4. We have:

θ: number of revolutions = 48 rev

f = 12 Hz

t =?

The time can be calculated as follows:

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{\theta}{2\pi t}

t = \frac{\theta}{2\pi f} = \frac{48 rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}}{2\pi*12 Hz} = 4 s

I hope it helps you!

What decibel reading corresponds to a pressure amplitude of 0.2 W/m^2?
horsena [70]

I  = pressure amplitude given = 0.2 W/m²

dB = decibel reading

decibel reading from the pressure amplitude is given as

dB = 10 log₁₀ (I/10⁻¹²)

inserting the values in the above equation

dB = 10 log₁₀ (0.2/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹.10¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹²⁻¹)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹¹)

dB = 113.01 db

hence the decibel reading comes out to be 113.01 db

A monatomic ideal gas initially fills a container of volume V = 0.25 m3 at an initial pressure of P = 250 kPa and temperature T
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

number of moles = 27.34 moles

the temperature of gas after it undergoes the isobaric expansion = 605 K

Explanation:

Given that:

V = 0.25 m³

P = 250 kPa

T = 275 K

V₂ = 0.55 m³

P₂ = 760 kPa

a)

Using ideal gas equation ; PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}\\\\n =  \frac{250*10^3*0.25}{8.314*275}\\\\n = \frac{62500}{2286.35}\\\\n = 27.34 \ moles

b) To calculate the temperature of gas after it undergoes the isobaric expansion; we have:

  1. \frac{V_1}{T_1}= \frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{0.25}{275}= \frac{0.55}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{0.55*275}{0.25}\\\\T_2 = 605 K
