Harman [31]3 years ago

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

A gas occupies 5.31 liters at a pressure of 0.55 atm. Determine the volume at standard pressure.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Option A; V =  2.92 L

Explanation:

If we assume a lot of things, like:

The gas is an ideal gas.

The temperature is constant.

The gas does not interchange mass with the environment.

Then we have the relation:

P*V = n*R*T = constant.

Where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = constant of the ideal gas

T = temperature.

We know that when P = 0.55 atm, the volume is 5.31 L

Then:

(0.55 atm)*(5.31 L) = constant

Now, when the gas is at standard pressure ( P = 1 atm)

We still have the relation:

P*V = constant = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)

(1 atm)*V = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)

Now we only need to solve this for V.

V = (0.55 atm/ 1 atm)*(5.31 L) = 2.92 L

V = 2.92 L

Then the correct option is A.

Define a transverse wave
Mumz [18]
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.
