How do the densities of the two objects compare?

1 answer:

3 0

Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³. If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.

A sample contains 16 mg of polonium-218. After 12 minutes, the sample will contain 1.0 mg of polonium-218. What is the half life

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Half-life = 3 minutes

Explanation:

Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:

K = ln2 / Half-life

We can find half-life of polonium-218

Radioactive decay:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Where:

[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg

k is Reaction constant, our incognite

t are 12 min

[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]

-2.7726 = - k*12min

k = 0.231min⁻¹

Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹

<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10

LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

(4) The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = $\frac{1000}{52}=19.23g$

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = $\frac{1000}{49}=20.41g$

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

Molar mass of $C_2H_6$ = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_4H_{10}$ = 58 g/mole

$\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles$

and,

$\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles$

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_2H_6$ is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_4H_{10}$ is:

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce 2 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.641 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce $0.641\times 2=1.28$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce 4 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.352 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce $0.352\times 4=1.41$ moles of $CO_2$

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Is wine a homogenous mixure

Fiesta28 [93]

Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases. A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky. In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture.

Where does the equilibrium point occur in a reaction system?

Ymorist [56]

Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. This doesn't necessarily mean the concentrations or pressure are the same on both sides of the equation, only the rates are the same
