Answer:

Explanation:

The sun unevenly hits the Earth, causing wind to form and move around the poles; never constant.

How many moles are in 5.03 x 1023 molecules?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Some formulas for calculating mole are

Mole = Mass/ Molar mass

Mole = no of particles / avogadros constant

NB : no of particles can be no of atoms , no of ions , or no of molecules 2. Avogadros number or constant = 6.02 times 10 ^23

so we will be using the second formula

Mole = no of particles / avogadros constant

Mole = 5.03 x 10 ^23/6.02 x10^23

Mole = 8.355x10^45

hope it helps :)

Some radioactive nuclides have very short half-lives, for example, I-31 has a half-life of approximately 8 days. Pu-234, by comp

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

$_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma$

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

$_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}$

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.

The molecular weight of a gas that has a density of 5.75 g/l at stp is __________ g/mol.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : The molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Density of a gas = 5.75 g/L

First we have to calculate the moles of gas.

At STP,

As, 22.4 liter volume of gas present in 1 mole of gas

So, 1 liter volume of gas present in $\frac{1}{22.4}=0.0446$ mole of gas

Now we have to calculate the molecular weight of a gas.

Formula used :

$\text{Moles of gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of a gas}}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the molecular weight of a gas.

$0.0446mole=\frac{5.75g}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}$

$\text{Molecular weight of a gas}=128.9g/mole$

Therefore, the molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t

blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

What are the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations in a solution whose ph is 6.52?

erica [24]

A solution with a pH of 6.52 has a hydronium ion concentration of 3.02x10-7 mol/L and a hydroxide ion concentration of 3.31x10-8 mol/L.

The hydronium ion concentration of a solution can be calculated from pH by using $10^{-pH}$ . For a pH of 6.52, hydronium ion concentration is 3.02x10-7 mol/L.

The concentration of hydroxide ions can be determined by identifying the value of pOH. The sum of pOH and pH is equal to 14, which is based on the negative logarithm of the ion-product constant of water. At a pH of 6.52, pOH is equal to 7.48.

The relationship between pOH and hydroxide ion concentration is the same as the relationship between pH and hydronium ion concentration. With this, the hydroxide ion concentration at pOH of 7.48 is $10^{-7.48}$ or 3.31x10-8 mol/L.
