The half-life of Plutonium−239, t1/2 is 2.41 × 10⁴<span> yrs
time taken to reach tolerable level = seven half-lives
= 7 x t1/2
= 7 x </span>2.41 × 10⁴ yrs
= 168700 yrs
= 1.687 x 10⁵ yrs
Hence, the period of time that <span>Plutonium-239 must be stored is </span>1.687 x 10⁵ years.
Answer:
2726.85 °C
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial pressure = 565 torr
Initial temperature = 27°C
Final temperature = ?
Final pressure = 5650 torr
Solution:
Initial temperature = 27°C (27+273 = 300 K)
According to Gay-Lussac Law,
The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.
Mathematical relationship:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Now we will put the values in formula:
T₂ = P₂T₁ /P₁
T₂ = 5650 torr × 300 K / 565 torr
T₂ = 1695000 torr. K /565 torr
T₂
= 3000 K
Kelvin to degree Celsius:
3000 K - 273.15 = 2726.85 °C
Answer:
0.006 48 km/s
Explanation:
1. Convert miles to kilometres
14.5 mi × (1.609 km/1 mi) = 23.33 km
2. Convert hours to seconds
1 h × (60 min/1h) × (60 s/1 min) = 3600 s
3. Divide the distance by the time
14.5 mi/1 h = 23.3 km/3600 s = 0.006 48 km/s
Use mv=mv, plug in the know 1x9.24=3m. Solve for m, which m is 3.08M
