(a) 140 years
(b) 3.125 pounds
Explanation:
<u>QuestIons</u>
(a) How long is five half-life
(b) How much radioactive strontium is left after five half-life
Given that:
Half-life is about 28 years; &
There are 100 pounds of this radioactive waste
Five half-life will be;
= 28 × 5
= 140 years
The amount of radioactive remaining after five half-life is:
= 100 × 0.03125
= 3.125 pounds
Answer:
<h2>9 kg.m/s</h2>
Explanation:
The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula
momentum = mass × velocity
From the question we have
momentum = 3 × 3
We have the final answer as
<h3>9 kg.m/s</h3>
Hope this helps you
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
