Americium-241 is widely used in smoke detectors. The radiation released by this element ionizes particles that are then detected

by a charged-particle collector. The half-life of 241Am is 432 years, and it decays by emitting alpha particles. How many alpha particles are emitted each second by a 5.54-g sample of 241Am

Answer:

Explanation:

Half life T is 432 years .

432 years = 432 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 s

= 1.36 x 10¹⁰ s .

No of atoms in 5.54 g of sample of Am N= 6.02 x 10²³ x 5.54 / 241

N = 138.38 x 10²⁰ atoms .

disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life

λ =  .693 / 1.36 x 10¹⁰ s .

= .51 x 10⁻¹⁰ .

dN / dt = λN

= .51 x 10⁻¹⁰  x  138.38 x 10²⁰

= 70.57 x 10¹⁰ per second.

No of particles emitted = no of disintegration per second

No of particles emitted =  70.57 x 10¹⁰ per second.

If a plant produces 8.46 mol C6H12O6, how many moles of H2O are needed?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

50.76 mol H2O.

Explanation:

The photosynthesis follows the equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This means that 6 mol of H2O are needed to obtain 1 mol of C6H12O6 (see the numbers that precedes every molecule to know how many mols are in game).

So we can say that:

1 mol C6H12O6 --------- 6 mol H2O

8.46 mol C6H12O6 -----x= 8.46 x 6 : 1 = 50.76 mol H20

What is the difference between cell and cellmembrane​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

So, a cell, in easiest terms, is "the building blocks of life". Without cells, humans, plants, animals, and anything else that has a cell would not be able to survive. Cells are extremely important to our bodies. Whereas a Cell Membrane is an organelle inside a cell. The Cell Membrane's job is to provide protection for the cell, as well as deciding which substances can enter and exit the cell.

I hope this helps!

A weather balloon contains 1.10X10 to the power of 5 mol of helium and has a volume of 2.70x10 to the power of 6 L at 1.00 atm p
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

299.14 K or 26°C

Explanation:

The ideal gas law, also called the general gas equation, is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas.

The ideal gas law is often written as

PV = nRT

where P ,V and T are the pressure, volume and absolute temperature;

n is the number of moles of gas and  R is the ideal gas constant.

n=1.10 x 10^5 mol  

V= 2.70 x 10^6 L  

P= 1.00 atm= 101.325 kPa  

R= 8.314 kPa*L/ mol*K

when the formula is  rearranged, T=PV/ nR  

T = (101.325kPa * 2.70 x 10^6 L)/ (1.10 x 10^5 mol * 8.314 kPa*L/ mol*K)  

T = 299.1421917 K

or

T = 299.14 - 273.15 = 25.99 =  26°C
