Inside a volcano how do the slanted layers of hardened lava get there

1 answer:

8 0

This is a build up of lava which came out of the volcano in previous eruptions, once this lava came out of the volcano it cooled and hardened, over many eruptions layers of hardened volcanic rock will form. The layers are slanted as gravity acts on the lava so it flows down and a little further from the cone.

A little aluminum boat (mass of 14.50

Valentin [98]

When the volume is 450 cm3 so the boat will displace 450 g.

so we have 450 g - 14.5g = 435.5 left

so to get how many pennies can be added to the boat before it sinks can be determined by:

divided the mass for the one penny:

no.of Penny = 435.5 / 2.5g

= 174.2

∴ the boat will float with 174 pennies and will start to sink with 175

Explain why the nucleus of an atom is positively charged but the overall charge of an atom is neutral

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.

What is the half-life of a pharmaceutical if the initial dose is 500 mg and only 31 mg remains after 6 hours?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{b. 1.5 h}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the rate constant

The integrated rate law for first order decay is

$\ln \left (\dfrac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}\right ) = kt$

where

A₀ and A_t are the amounts at t = 0 and t

k is the rate constant

$\begin{array}{rcl}\ln \left (\dfrac{500}{31}\right) & = & k \times 6\\\\\ln 16.1 & = & 6k\\2.78& =& 6k\\k & = & \dfrac{2.78}{6}\\\\& = & 0.463 \text{ h}^{-1}\\\end{array}$

2. Calculate the half-life

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k} = \dfrac{\ln2}{\text{0.463 h}^{-1}} = \textbf{1.5 h}\\\\ \text{The half-life is $\large \boxed{\textbf{1.5 h}}$}$
