A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of a substance. It is important to know because it can help define what the substance is, because if it has certain characteristics than a certain element, it can be traced to a specific substance.

Based on table N of the reference tables what is the number of hours required for 42k (potassium -42) to undergo three half-life
skelet666 [1.2K]

The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

⁴²K (potassium -42)

Required

The number of hours

Solution

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours

For three half-life periods :

\tt 3\times 12.4=37.2~hours

If you initially have a volume of 4 L and a temperature of 300K. Then you decreased the volume to 2 L, what is the new temperatu
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 150 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 4 L

Initial temperature = 300 K

Final volume = 2 L

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁  

T₂ = 300 K × 2L / 4 L

T₂ = 600 L.K / 4 L

T₂ = 150 K
