<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.75 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
  • In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
  • To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;

Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life

                                 = 40 years ÷ 10 years

                                  = 4

Therefore;

Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴

                            = 300 g × 1/16

                             = 18.75 g

Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.

indicate whether the entropy of the system increases or decreases. Mixing 10 mL of 90.0 °C water with 10 mL of 10 °C water. The
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

When the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy

Explanation:

The answer that "the entropy will is increases" is correct as:

The water at 90° C i.e at higher temperature is mixed with the water at 10° C i.e the water at the lower temperature.

The water at lower temperature will have molecules with lower energy while the water with higher temperature will have molecules undergoing high thermal collisions. Thereby, when the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy.

Therefore, the answer is correct with respect to the water at lower temperature.

Meanwhile, for the water at higher temperature , the temperature of the system will decrease. Thus, the entropy of the water at higher level will decrease.

At standard pressure, ammonia melts at 195 K and boils at 240 K. If a sample of ammonia at standard pressure is cooled from 200
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

I) the heat capacity of ammonia(s)

II) the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ)

IV) the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia

Explanation:

Initially, ammonia at 200 K is liquid. To calculate the change of enthalpy from 200 K to 195 K (melting point) we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ).

At 195, ammonia is in the transition from liquid to solid (solidification). To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the enthalpy of solidification of ammonia, which has the same value but opposite sign to the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia.

From 195 K to 0 K, ammonia is solid. To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(s).
