<u>Answer:</u> The mass of potassium superoxide required is 142.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium superoxide with water follows:

2KO_2+H_2O\rightarrow KOH+KHO_2+O_2;\Delta H=2405J

Number of moles of potassium superoxide reacted = 2 moles for given amount of heat released

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of potassium superoxide = 71.1 g/mol

Moles of potassium superoxide = 2 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2mol=\frac{\text{Mass of potassium superoxide}}{71.1g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of potassium superoxide}=(2mol\times 71.1g/mol)=142.2g

Hence, the mass of potassium superoxide required is 142.2 grams

The radioactive isotope 210/84 Po decays by alpha emission.
yan [13]

The half-life of polonium-210, given that it decays from 98.3 micrograms to 12.3 micrograms in 414 days is 138 days

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 98.3 micrograms
  • Amount remaining (N) = 12.3 micrograms
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 98.3 / 12.3

2ⁿ = 8

2ⁿ = 2³

n = 3

<h3>How to determine the half life </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Time (t) = 414 days
  • Half-life (t½) = ?

t½ = t / n

t½ = 414 / 3

t½ = 138 days

When doing medical research with human subjects, which four limitations are unavoidable?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Answer

The limitations are-

1. Privacy of the individuals involved in the research process.

2. Physical and psychological risks should be minimized

3. The subjects should be chosen equitably

4. Only reasonable exposure to risks is admissible.

Explanation

The privacy of the individuals involved in the research must be taken into consideration. This will ensure safety of patient data and information. The risk of physical and physiological well being of the person must be taken into consideration in such a research. In addition to that, the subject must be made to understand every procedure and the risks involved before testing. Moreover, only minimal exposure to risks is allowed and must have been previously tested in animals to avoid deaths.
