What element might be used when storing pure phosphorus to keep it from reacting?

Argon is often used for storing chemicals because it is a noble gas and pretty much totally nonreactive. Nitrogen is also a possible answer, as it mostly doesn't reactive with phosphorus and is more readily available.

An element, which can be used to store pure phosphorus to keep it from reacting is ARGON.

Phosphorus exist in three different forms, white, red and black phosphorus. The red and the black phosphorus are quite stable but the white phosphorus is unstable and can explode when it comes in contact with oxygen. Because of this, it is usually stored under water. Argon also can be used to store the white phosphorus, because it an inert element and will not react with the phosphorus.

How much energy does a 445 nm wave of light have? (The speed of light in a
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To calculate questions like this, you need to make use of the equation below:

E = hν

E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency.

Also, another important formula you need for this question is the following:

ν = c / λ

ν is the frequency, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength.

Therefore, E = hν = hc/λ.

Also remember to convert nm wavelength to meters.

To answer the question, E = hc/λ = ((6.626*10^-34 J•s)(3*10^8 m/s))/(4.45*10-7 m) = 4.42 • 10^-19 J = A

A piece of iron can change in different ways. How is iron bending different from iron rusting
fenix001 [56]
Iron bending is just a physical change because the iron has only changed shape but there is no new substance. Iron rusting is a chemical change because there is a new substance which is rust.

You have just isolated a new radioactive element. If you can determine its half-life, you will win the Nobel Prize in physics. Y
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 2.58 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = age of sample  = 6 days

a = initial amount of the reactant  =  1 g

a - x = amount left after decay process   = 0.2 g

a) to find the rate constant

6=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}

k=\frac{2.303}{6}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}

k=0.268days^{-1}

b) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.268}=2.58days

The half life is 2.58 days
