Answer:

d) 1/32 microgram

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Forth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

Fifth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/32.

The initial mass of the sample = 1 microgram

After 5 half-lives, the mass should reduce to 1/32 of the original.

So the concentration left = 1/32 of 1 microgram = 1/32 microgram

As air temperature approaches the dew point, what happens to the relative humidity?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Relative Humidity is a percentage based on how much moisture is in the air versus how much moisture the air can hold. The dewpoint is the temperature that the atmosphere must reach for a parcel of air to become fully saturated. That being said, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees (F or C doesn't matter), and the dewpoint goes from 10 to 20, then the relative humidity has increased, meaning there is more moisture present in the atmosphere.
The easiest way to look at pressure is by looking at the number of air molecules that are in a closed container. Gas molecules expand as they warm, so warming up a container of air means that these molecule will attempt to expand, thus increasing the pressure. Take for instance a soda bottle filled with air, if you heat a soda bottle, then the gases inside will attempt to expand (raising the pressure) and eventually the bottle will explode, but if you stick the same soda bottle in dry ice, the soda bottle will contract, due to decreased pressure. </span> Source(s): <span> Military Meteorologist

What is the amount of thermal energy needed to make 5 kg of ice at - 10 °C to
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Explanation:

By First Law of Thermodynamics, we see that amount of thermal energy (Q), in joules, is equal to the change in internal energy. From statement we understand that change in internal energy consisting in two latent components (U_{l,ice}, U_{l,steam}), in joules, and two sensible component (U_{s,w}), in joules, that is:

Q = U_{l,ice} + U_{s, w} + U_{s,ice} + U_{l,steam} (1)

By definitions of Sensible and Latent Heat, we expanded the formula:

Q = m\cdot (h_{f,w}+h_{v,w}+c_{ice}\cdot \Delta T_{ice}+c_{w}\cdot \Delta T_{w}) (2)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

h_{f,w} - Latent heat of fussion of water, in joules per kilogram.

h_{v,w} - Latent heat of vaporization of water, in joules per kilogram.

c_{ice} - Specific heat of ice, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

\Delta T_{ice} - Change in temperature of ice, measured in degrees Celsius.

\Delta T_{w} - Change in temperature of water, measured in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 5\,kg, h_{f,w} = 3.34\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}, h_{v,w} = 2.26\times 10^{6}\,\frac{J}{kg}, c_{ice} = 2.090\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, c_{w} = 4.186\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, \Delta T_{ice} = 10\,^{\circ}C and \Delta T_{w} = 100\,^{\circ}C, then the amount of thermal energy is:

Q = 15167500\,J

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.
