If you lived in Alaska, which of the following natural gases could you keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter: a. Methane (CH

wariber [46]

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having a boling point of -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 41 mg of sodium.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a. 41 mg equals 0.041 grams.

b. 41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces

c. 41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds

Explanation:

You know that a slice of Swiss cheese contains 41 mg of sodium.

a. What is this mass in grams?

Knowing that 1 mg = 10⁻³ g, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 10⁻³ g or 0.001 grams, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in g?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*0.001 g}{1 mg}$

mass= 0.041 grams

41 mg equals 0.041 grams.

b. What is this mass in ounces?

Knowing that 1 mg = 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in ounces?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*3.5274*10^{-5}ounces }{1 mg}$

mass= 1.4462*10 ⁻³ ounces= 0.0014462 ounces

41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces

c. What is this mass in pounds?

Knowing that 1 mg = 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in pounds?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*2.20462*10^{-6}pounds }{1 mg}$

mass= 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds

41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds

What fraction of a Sr-90 sample remains unchanged after 87.3 years

jolli1 [7]

The answer is 1/8.

Half-life is the time required for the amount of a sample to half its value.
To calculate this, we will use the following formulas:
1. $(1/2)^{n} = x$ ,
where:
n - a number of half-lives
x - a remained fraction of a sample

2. $t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}$
where:
 $t_{1/2}$ - half-life
t - total time elapsed
n - a number of half-lives

The half-life of Sr-90 is 28.8 years.
So, we know:
t = 87.3 years
 $t_{1/2}$ = 28.8 years

We need:
n = ?
x = ?

We could first use the second equation, to calculate n:
If:
$t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}$ ,
Then:
$n = \frac{t}{ t_{1/2} }$
⇒ $n = \frac{87.3 years}{28.8 years}$
⇒ $n=3.03$
⇒ n ≈ 3

Now we can use the first equation to calculate the remained amount of the sample.
 $(1/2)^{n} = x$
⇒ $x=(1/2)^3$
⇒ $x= \frac{1}{8}$
