Everything dead would just keep piling up and up and up and nothing would ever go away! The Earth would be like a giant landfill! <span />

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 180 mg sample. Find the mass that remains after t years. Let y(t) be

Stels [109]

Explanation:

1) Initial mass of the Cesium-137= $N_o$ = 180 mg

Mass of Cesium after time t = N

Formula used :

$N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Half life of the cesium-137 = $t_{1/2}=30 years[p/tex]where,
[tex]N_o$ = initial mass of isotope

N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = half life of the isotope

$\lambda$ = rate constant

$N=N_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}$

Mass that remains after t years.

$N=180 mg\times e^{0.0231 year^{-1}\times t}$

Therefore, the parent isotope remain after one half life will be, 100 grams.

2)

t = 70 years

$N_o=180 mg$

$t_{1/2}= 30 yeras$

$N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times 70 years}$

N = 35.73 mg

35.73 mg of cesium-137 will remain after 70 years.

3)

$N_o=180 mg$

$t_{1/2}= 30 yeras$

N = 1 mg

t = ?

$1 mg =180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}$

$\frac{-30 year}{0.693}\times \ln \frac{1 mg}{180 mg}=t$

t = 224.80 years ≈ 225 years

After 225 years only 1 mg of cesium-137 will remain.

How does a barometer predict the weather?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

<em>Barometers measure this pressure. ... Changes in the atmosphere, including changes in air pressure, affect the weather. Meteorologists use barometers to predict short-term changes in the weather. A rapid drop in atmospheric pressure means that a low-pressure system is arriving.</em>

What is back titration?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Back titration is a titration done in reverse; instead of titrating the original sample, a known excess of standard reagent is added to the solution, and the excess is titrated.

The gas in a sealed container has an absolute pressure of 125.4 kilopascals. If the air around the container is at a pressure of

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C. 25.6 kPa

Explanation:

The Gauge pressure is defined as the amount of pressure in a fluid that exceeds the amount of pressure in the atmosphere.

As such, the formula will be,

PG = PT – PA

Where,

PG is Gauge Pressure

PT is Absolute Pressure

PA is Atmospheric Pressure

Inputted in the formula,

PG = 125.4 - 99.8

PG = 25.6 kPa

The gauge pressure inside the container is 25.6kPa which is option C.
