Nady [450]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Applying,

2^{n'} = R/R'............... Equation 1

Where n' = number of halflives that have passed, R = Original atom of the substance, R' = atom of the substance left after decay.

From the question,

Given: R = 40 atoms, R' = 5 atoms

Substitute these values into equation 1

2^{n'} = 40/5

2^{n'} = 8

2^{n'} = 2³

Equation the base,

n' = 3

Suppose that 33.3 J of heat is added to an ideal gas. The gas expands at a constant pressure of 1.45 104 Pa while changing its v
levacccp [35]

Answer:

ΔU = 25.8 J

Explanation:

The gas absorbs 33.3 J of heat, that is, Q = 33.3 J.

The work (W) of expansion can be calculated using the following expression:

W = -P. ΔV

where,

P is the external pressure

ΔV is the change in volume

W = -1.45 × 10⁴ N . m⁻² × (8.40 × 10⁻⁴ m³ - 3.24 × 10⁻⁴ m³) = -7.48 J

The change in the internal energy (ΔU) is:

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU =  33.3 J + (-7.48 J) = 25.8 J

Allena and Charissa were discussing whether Cl2 is an element or a compound. Allena said that it is an element because it has on
kobusy [5.1K]
Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.
