<h3>Answer:</h3>

1031.4 Calories.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Mass of the copper metal = 50.0 g

Initial temperature = 21.0 °C

Final temperature, = 75°C

Change in temperature = 54°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.382 Cal/g°C

We are required to calculate the amount of heat in calories required to raise the temperature of the copper metal;

Quantity of heat is given by the formula,

Q = Mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

   = 50.0 g × 0.382 Cal/g°C × 54 °C

   = 1031.4 Calories

Thus, the amount of heat energy required is 1031.4 Calories.

harina [27]
Sr will always have 38 protons because that is its atomic number. Normally Sr has 38 protons and 49 neutrons yielding an atomic mass of 87. unless you are dealing with an isotope of Strontium in which 3 additional neutrons would give you the 53 neutrons in your answer, (38p, 52n).

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.

What is the difference between Dalton’s and modern atomic theory
stira [4]

Answer:

Dalton says atoms of a given element are identical in mass and the modern one says atoms of a given element are identical in average mass. ... Modern theory says they atoms can be subdivided, created or destroyed by ordinay means.

hope this helps!
