4. DBearded waste of Co-60 must be stored until it is no longer radioactive. Cobalt-60
Bingel [31]

464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g

26.5 years in storage

Required

Initial sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

t = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Input the value :

\tt 14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^{26.5/5.3}\\\\14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\No=\boxed{\bold{464~g}}

Which of the following properly describes the movement of atoms as they represent the states of matter? Atoms making liquids hav
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Atoms making liquids have less attraction than solids, but more than gases

Explanation:

The attraction between atoms in different molecules in a solid is very strong due to strong intermolecular forces present in a solid. However, such intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids.

This implies that the solid has higher intermolecular forces of attraction compared to gases and liquids. Based on the negligible degree of intermolecular forces between them, a gas has the weakest intermolecular forces hence the atom has very minimal interaction between them.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

17.1 mol

Explanation:

(8.68g/mL * 125 mL) = 1085 g

1085 g/ (63.55 g/mol) = 17.1 mol

Which label belongs in the region marked X?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A) involves changes in temperature

Explanation:

The figure is missing, but I assume that the region marked X represents the region in common between Gay-Lussac's law and Charle's Law.

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as

p\propto T

where p is the pressure of the gas and T its absolute temperature.

Charle's Law states that:

"For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as

V\propto T

where V is the volume of the gas and T its absolute temperature.

By looking at the two descriptions of the law, we see immediately that the property that they have in common is

A) involves changes in temperature

Since the temperature is NOT kept constant in the two laws.
