Answer:

A reactive metal has the ability to easily lose an electron and acquire a positive charge. Sodium easily loses electrons and acquires a positive charge. Sodium easily lose electrons than magnesium and get oxidized to easily.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn

ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = $3.00\times 10^8\ m/s$

The distance = $7.9\times 10^8\ km$

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = $7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m$

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Thus,

$3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}$

$300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s$

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time= $\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min$

An isotope of cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. If 5.0g of cesium-137 decays over 60 years. How many grams will remain.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30 year

Mass of cesium-137 = 5.0 g

Mass remain after 60 years = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passed = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives passed = 60 year / 30 year

Number of half lives passed = 2

At time zero = 5.0 g

At first half life = 5.0 g/2 = 2.5 g

At 2nd half life = 2.5 g/ 2 = 1.25 g

Thus. 1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

A student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74

stellarik [79]

Explanation:

Starting moles of ethanol acid = 0.020 mol

At the equilibrium 50 % of the ethanol acid molecules reacted

∴ Moles of ethanol acid reacted = 0.020 mol * 50 %/100 %

= 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanol acid remain = 0.020 mol + 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

Moles of the product $(CH3COOH)^{2}$ gas formed are calculated as

0.010 mol CH3COOH * 1 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$ / 2 mol CH3COOH

= 0.005 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$

Therefore at the equilibrium total moles of gas present in the vessel are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$

That is total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Now Calculate the pressure :

0.020 mol gas has pressure of 0.74 atm therefore at the same condition what will be the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol gas

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

= 0.74 atm * 0.015 mol / 0.020 mol

= 0.555 atm
