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

We wish to obtain a equal sized inverted image of a candel flame on a screen kept at a distance of 4m from the candle flame a) n
soldier1979 [14.2K]

A) To obtain an inverted image of an object of same size a convex lens is used.

B)

In this question we have given

Distance between candle flame and screen=4

it means distance between candle flame and lens +distance between lens and screen =4m

u+v= 4m

u= v

therefore, 2u= 4m

or, u=-2m              ( u is taken negative because it lies on left side of the lens)

and v=2m

we have to find the focal length of convex lens

\frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{v}   -  \frac{1}{u}\frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{2} - ( -  \frac{1}{2} ) \\  \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{1}\\ f = 1m

Hence, Focal length of the lens is 1m

and lens should be placed at a distance of 2m from the flame

an ideal gas system undergoes an adiabatic process in which it expands and does 20 J of work on its environment. how much energy
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Zero.

Explanation:

An adiabatic process is one in which there is no exchange of heat energy. Therefore, in an adiabatic process, heat is neither added to the system not it is removed from the system.

The work done by the gas on the environment is 20 J. This energy is equal to the change in internal energy for an adiabatic process.

Therefore, for an ideal gas to undergo an adiabatic process in which it expands and does 20 J of work on its environment, the heat exchange is zero.
