6 0

Answer:

  The half-life is defined as, the substance which are radioactive in the nature and it is charactertics constant. It basically measured the duration or time, when the quantity of the substance are reduced by the half with decay consequences. This process is defined the term half-life.

For example - The life of the medical are basically referred to the half life of the biological to drugs and other reactions in the body of human.

23.5 L of h2 is stored at a pressure of 58.7 Kpa what volume would the gas take up at stp
stepan [7]

Answer:-  13.6 L

Solution:- Volume of hydrogen gas at 58.7 Kpa is given as 23.5 L. It asks to calculate the volume of hydrogen gas at STP that is standard temperature and pressure. Since the problem does not talk about the original temperature so we would assume the constant temperature. So, it is Boyle's law.

Standard pressure is 1 atm that is 101.325 Kpa.

Boyle's law equation is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

From given information:-

P_1 = 58.7 Kpa

V_1 = 23.5 L

P_2 = 101.325 Kpa

V_2 = ?

Let's plug in the values and solve it for final volume.

58.7Kpa*23.5L=101.325Kpa*V_2

On rearranging the equation for V_2

V_2=\frac{58.7Kpa*23.5L}{101.325Kpa}

V_2 = 13.6 L

So, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP for the given information is 13.6 L.

The solution in the two arms of the U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The liquid level will rise in Side A and drop in Side B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The membrane is impermeable to sucrose, but permeable to sucrose and water.

<u>      Side A   </u>    <u>    Side B    </u>  

2 M sucrose   1 M sucrose

1 M glucose   2 M glucose

(a) Ignoring osmotic effects

The glucose will diffuse spontaneously from the side with higher concentration to that of lower concentration until equilibrium is established. There is no change in volume on either side.

At this point, we have

<u>     Side A       </u>   <u>        Side B   </u>      

2    M sucrose    1 M sucrose

1.5 M glucose    1.5 M glucose

=====

(b) With osmotic effects

The solute concentration on Side A is greater than on Side B.

Water will diffuse into Side A.

The liquid level will rise in Side A and drop in Side B.
