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.

Which of the following is unchanged at the end of the CNO cycle?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. carbon-12

Explanation:

The CNO cycle, the abbreviation for the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, is a catalytic cycle by which the stars produce helium from elemental hydrogen, via a series of nuclear fusion reactions.

This cycle involves the fusion of four protons with carbon (_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}), nitrogen isotope (_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}), and oxygen isotope (_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}), to give an alpha particle and two electron neutrinos and positrons.

The reaction involves the regeneration of carbon (_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}) nucleus in the last step.

_{6}^{12}\textrm{C} → _{7}^{13}\textrm{N} → _{6}^{13}\textrm{C} → _{7}^{14}\textrm{N} → _{8}^{15}\textrm{O} → _{7}^{15}\textrm{N} → _{6}^{12}\textrm{C}

What is the mass of 8.12 × 10^23 molecules of CO2 gas? (Atomic mass of carbon = 12.011 u; oxygen = 15.999 u.)
amid [387]

Answer:

m=59.3gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the molar mass of carbon dioxide as shown below, considering it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms:

M=12.011g/mol+2*15.999g/mol\\\\M=44.009g/mol

It is important to notice it is the mass in one mole of such compound. Afterwards, we need to use the Avogadro's number to compute the how many moles are in the given molecules of carbon dioxide as shown below:

mol=8.12x10^{23}molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} =1.35mol

Finally, the mass by using the molar mass:

m=1.35mol*\frac{44.009g}{1mol} \\\\m=59.3gCO_2

Best regards.
