Answer:

1 million years

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive isotope refers to the time it takes for the radioactive isotope to decay to half of its original amount.

The half life of a radioactive isotope is independent of the amount of starting material. Hence, whether the amount of starting material is small or large, the half life of the substance remains the same.

Hence the half life of 2 green marbles and 500,000 green marbles is 1 million years.

A forward reaction in which adding heat decreases product formation is _________, while a forward reaction in which adding heat

ELEN [110]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. <span>A forward reaction in which adding heat decreases product formation is exothermic, while a forward reaction in which adding heat increases product formation is endothermic. Exothermic would mean that heat is being released by the process while the opposite is called endothermic in which it absorbs heat.</span>

4) What volume will the gas in the balloon at right occupy at 250k?<br><br> balloon: 4.3L 350K

swat32

Answer:

2.87 liter.

Explanation:

Given:

Initially volume of balloon = 4.3 liter

Initially temperature of balloon = 350 K

Question asked:

What volume will the gas in the balloon occupy at 250 K ?

Solution:

By using:

$Pv =nRT$

Assuming pressure as constant,

V∝ T

Now, let K is the constant.

V = KT

Let initial volume of balloon , $V_{1}$ = 4.3 liter

1000 liter = 1 meter cube

1 liter = $\frac{1}{1000} m^{3} = 10^{-3} m^{3$

4.3 liter = $4.3\times10^{-3}=4.3\times10^{-3} m^{3}$

And initial temperature of balloon, $T_{1}$ = 350 K

Let the final volume of balloon is $V_{2}$

And as given, final temperature of balloon, $T_{2}$ is 250 K

Now, $V_{1} = KT_{1}$

$4.3\times10^{-3}=K\times350\ (equation\ 1 )$

$V_{2} = KT_{2}$

$=K\times250\ (equation 2)$

Dividing equation 1 and 2,

$\frac{4.3\times10^{-3}}{V_{2} } =\frac{K\times350}{K\times250}$

K cancelled by K.

By cross multiplication:

$350V_{2} =4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\V_{2} =\frac{ 4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\}{350} \\ = \frac{1075\times10^{-3}}{350} \\ =2.87\times10^{-3}m^{3}$

Now, convert it into liter with the help of calculation done above,

$2.87\times10^{-3} \times1000\\2.87\times10^{-3} \times10^{3} \\2.87\ liter$

Therefore, volume of the gas in the balloon at 250 K will be 2.87 liter.

An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called _____.

jek_recluse [69]

It called cation, Well, When an atom gains or loses an electron, it attains a net charge and becomes an ion. When electrons are lost, the resulting ion is called cation and when electrons are gained, the resulting ion is called an anion. So, Cations have a net positive charge, while anions have a net negative charge. it is true.
