Answer:

1 g  

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}

The mass remaining after 48 h  is 1 g.

A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 1.5 atm, an initial volume of 3.0 L, and an initial temperature of 293K. If the final
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1.9 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 1.5 atm
  • Initial volume (V₁): 3.0 L
  • Initial temperature (T₁): 293 K
  • Final pressure (P₂): 2.5 atm
  • Final volume (V₂): ?
  • Final temperature (T₂): 303 K

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the gas

If we assume ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume of the gas using the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 1.5 atm × 3.0 L × 303 K / 293 K × 2.5 atm = 1.9 L

Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons, shouldn’t every sample of matter have a negative charge ? Explain
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The three sub-atomic particles that made up an atom are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and neutron are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbits. The atoms are electrically neutral that is they have no charge due to the presence of equal number of protons (which is positively charged) and electrons (which is negatively charged).

All the atoms have negatively charged electrons which are counter balanced by the presence of equal number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and thus, the element is neutral in nature and possess no charge.
