Explain why the boiling point of water is a characteristic physical property, but the temperature of a glass are not.

1 answer:

4 0

A physical change occurs when a material changes state, these can include color, luster, melting/boiling point, hardness etc. Since the boiling point of water is changing state therefore it is a physical change

The temperature of a glass does not change state, it is just heated due to the boiling water

Can you use volume to measure out a mole of a gas? Why or why not?

Rashid [163]

The volume of a gas is defined by the volume of its container.

However, given the number of moles, and standard temperature and pressure, you can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

$N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, $N_{0}$ is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is half life of radioactive nuclide
