Answer:

The importance of significant figures

As stated before, it is important within the science fields that you are not more precise or accurate than the least accurate or precise number. In science, it is generally agreed upon that the last number digit in any figure is filled with uncertainty.

Which two properties of an object are directly related to its thermal energy?

Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

If we assume the sum of energy that could be obtained by absolutely transforming a unit of length, m. It is compared to the speed of light in this connection. In this case, the whole mass of the electron becomes force. In this, depending on the relation of Einstein, each electron can generate 510 keV, which is why only the option of "c" is right.

[24 points] A sample of soil has a total volume of 205 cm3. The soil mass when saturated is 361 g. A specific yield test was con

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Dry Soil weight = solid soil weight = $284 \ grams$

solid soil volume = $205 \ cc$

saturated mass soil = $361 \ g$

The weight of the soil after drainage is = $295 \ g$

Water weight for soil saturation = $(361-284) = 77 \ g$

Water volume required for soil saturation = $\frac{77}{1} = 77 \ cc$

Sample volume of water: $= \frac{\text{water density}}{\text{water density input}}$

$= 361- 295 \\\\ = 66 \ cc$

Soil water retained volume = (draining field weight - dry soil weight)

$= 295 - 284 \\\\ = 11 \ cc.$

$\text{POROSITY}= \frac{\text{Vehicle volume}}{\text{total volume Soil}}$

$= \frac{77}{(205 + 77)} \\\\= \frac{77}{(282)} \\\\ = 27.30 \%$

(Its saturated water volume is equal to the volume of voids)

$\text{YIELD SPECIFIC} = \frac{\text{Soil water volume}}{\text{Soil volume total}}$

$= \frac{66}{(205+77)}\\\\= \frac{66}{(282)}\\\\=0.2340\\\\ = 0.23$

$\text{Specific Retention}= \frac{\text{Volume of soil water}}{\text{Total soil volume}}$

$= \frac{11}{282} \\\\= 0.0390 \\\\ = 0.04$

The normal freezing point of a certain liquid

slavikrds [6]

Answer : The molal freezing point depression constant of liquid X is, $4.12^oC/m$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of urea (solute) = 5.90 g

Mass of liquid X (solvent) = 450 g = 0.450 kg

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mole

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of urea}}{\text{Molar mass of urea}\times \text{Mass of liquid X Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution = $-0.5^oC$

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of liquid X = $0.4^oC$

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$K_f$ = Molal-freezing-point-depression constant = ?

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$0.4^oC-(-0.5^oC)=1\times K_f\times \frac{5.90g}{60g/mol\times 0.450kg}$

$K_f=4.12^oC/m$

Therefore, the molal freezing point depression constant of liquid X is, $4.12^oC/m$

A certain drug has a half-life in the body of 3.5h. Suppose a patient takes one 200.Mg pill at :500PM and another identical pill

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of drug in the body at 90 min by using the exponential decay equation:

$N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

λ: is the decay constant = $ln(2)/t_{1/2}$

$t_{1/2}$ : is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h

N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t

N₀: is the initial quantity

After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:

$N_{t} = 200e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*90 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 148.6 mg$

Now, at 7:00 pm we have:

$t = 7:00 pm - (5:00 pm + 90 min) = 30 min$

$N_{t} = (200 + 148.6)e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 315.7 mg$

Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).

I hope it helps you!
