Answer:    Nuclear decay rates are constant

Explanation:  Nuclear or radioactive decay occurs when energy is lost in unstable atoms, with emitting radiation. In this case, there are radioactive alpha, beta, gamma and other particles. In fact, this process presupposes the spontaneous transformation of unstable atomic nuclei. The characteristic of such processes is half-life, which represents a time period necessary for half of the amount of radioactive material to decay. It is not always predictable when a particular radioactive particle from an unstable atomic nucleus will be emitted, but <em>the decay rate over time is constant</em>.

Calculate the density of O2(g) at 415 K and 310 bar using the ideal gas and the van der Waals equations of state. Use a numerica
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The density of O₂ gas = d_{ideal} = \dfrac{P\times M}{RT}

here:

P = pressure of the O₂ gas = 310 bar

= 310 \ bar \times \dfrac{0.987 \ atm}{1 \ bar}

= 305.97 atm

The temperature T = 415 K

The rate R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

molar mass of O₂  gas = 32 g/mol

∴

d_{ideal} = \dfrac{305.97 \ \times 32}{0.0821 \times 415}

d_{ideal} = 287.37 g/L

To find the density using the Van der Waal equation

Recall that:

the Van der Waal constant for O₂ is:

a = 1.382 bar. L²/mol²    &

b = 0.0319  L/mol

The initial step is to determine the volume = Vm

The Van der Waal equation can be represented as:

P =\dfrac{RT}{V-b}-\dfrac{a}{V^2}

where;

R = gas constant (in bar) = 8.314 × 10⁻² L.bar/ K.mol

Replacing our values into the above equation, we have:

310 =\dfrac{0.08314\times 415}{V-0.0319}-\dfrac{1.382}{V^2}

310 =\dfrac{34.5031}{V-0.0319}-\dfrac{1.382}{V^2}

310V^3 -44.389V^2+1.382V-0.044=0

After solving;

V = 0.1152 L

∴

d_{Van \ der \ Waal} = \dfrac{32}{0.1152}

d_{Van \ der \ Waal} = 277.77  g/L

We say that the repulsive part of the interaction potential dominates because the results showcase that the density of the Van der Waals is lesser than the density of ideal gas.

Classify each titration curve as representing a strong acid titrated with a strong base, a strong base titrated with a strong ac
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Acid base titration curves shows the pH at equivalence point

Explanation:

Since the images were not shown, I will proceed to give a general description of the following acid-base titration curves:

In a strong acid-strong base titration, the acid and base will react to form a neutral solution. At the equivalence point of the reaction, hydronium (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions will react to form water, leading to a pH of 7.

The titration curve reflects the strengths of the corresponding acid and base. If one reagent is a weak acid or base and the other is a strong acid or base, the titration curve is irregular, and the pH shifts less with small additions of titrant near the equivalence point.

Polyprotic acids are able to donate more than one proton per acid molecule, in contrast to monoprotic acids that only donate one proton per molecule. In the titration curve of a polyptotic acid and a strong base, The curve starts at a higher pH than a titration curve of a strong base. There is always a steep climb in pH before the first midpoint. Gradually, the pH increases until it passes the midpoint; Right before the equivalence point there is a very sharp increase in pH.
