Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of

the following statements about containers A and B is true? Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. Which of the following statements about containers A and B is true? The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is greater (or longer) than the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A. The rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container B is the same as the rate of decay of atoms (half-life) in container A.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is due to the differences in the concentrations of the radioactive isotopes in the two containers of the same volume. In container A, with a higher density of atoms, there is a higher chance of a neutron released in the decay of one atom, hitting another atom and splitting it. This is in comparison to container B that has fewer atoms that are widely dispersed due to the lower density. Atoms in cointainer A will therefore decay faster (shorter half-life) than atoms in container B.

1. How many molecules of barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)2 are there in 21.9 grams of
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: 7.7\times 10^{22} molecules of Ba(OH)_2

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{21.9g}{171g/mol}=0.128moles

1 mole of Ba(OH)_2 contains =  6.023\times 10^{23} molecules

0.128 mole of Ba(OH)_2 contains =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.128=7.71\times 10^{22} molecules

Thus there are 7.7\times 10^{22} molecules of Ba(OH)_2

Drum X is 12 full of oil and Drum Y, which has twice the capacity of Drum X, is 23 full of oil. If all of the oil in Drum X is p
koban [17]

Answer:

11/12 full

Explanation:

The correct question is

Drum X is 1/2 full of oil and drum Y, which has twice the capacity of drum X, is 2/3 full of oil. If all of the oil in drum X is poured into drum Y, then drum Y will be filled to what fraction of its capacity?

A) 3/4

B) 5/6

C) 11/12

D) 7/6

E) 11/6

Solution

Let Capacity of Drum X = 150L

and Drum Y = 300L

Oil in Drum X = 75 L

Oil in Drum Y = 2/3 * 300 = 200L

Oil poured in to Drum Y => Oil in Drum Y = 275L

Capacity Ratio = 275/300 = 11/12

Parts of respiratory system:

Nose and Nasal Cavity, mouth, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi and Bronchioles, Lungs and Muscles of Respiration.

Respiratory system function:

Your respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood.

Alveoli:

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in your lungs that take up the oxygen you breathe and keep it going. The alveoli ventilate, diffuse and peruse in your lungs.
