Flauer [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life  = 8.08days

Unknown:

What fraction is left unchanged after 16.16days = ?

Solution:

The half - life of a substance is the time taken for the half of a radioactive material to decay to half.

 

  Day 0           Day 8.08         Day 16.16

   100%                 50%                 0%        Parent

    0%                     50%                100%     Daughter

After 16.16 days, non of the original sample will remain unchanged.

A 25.00-mL aliquot of a nitric acid solution of unknown concentration is pipetted into a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask and 2 drops of
Semenov [28]

Answer:

0.0611M of HNO3

Explanation:

<em>The concentration of the NaOH solution must be 0.1198M</em>

<em />

The reaction of NaOH with HNO3 is:

NaOH + HNO3 → NaNO3 + H2O

<em>1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of HNO3.</em>

That means the moles of NaOH used in the titration are equal to moles of HNO3.

<em>Moles HNO3:</em>

12.75mL = 0.01275L * (0.1198mol / L) = 0.0015274 moles NaOH = Moles HNO3.

In 25.00mL = 0.025L -The volume of the aliquot-:

0.00153 moles HNO3 / 0.025L =

<h3> 0.0611M of HNO3</h3>

Explain why energy sources do not have 100% efficiency. Why do you think some have lower efficiencies?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>

Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.

Explanation:

The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;

л = output energy/input energy

The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy  conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.

A 1.20 gram sample of a hydrated salt is heated to a constant mass of .80 gram. what is the percent of mass of water contained i
Papessa [141]
The mass of the water is 1.20 - 0.80 = 0.40 grams.

The % of water is (0.40 / 1.20 ) * 100 = 33 1/3%

ziro4ka [17]
<span>Tychonic System is a model of the Solar system that embraces all the benefits of Copernican and Ptolemaic systems, forming the most accurate one. This system was introduced by Tycho Brahe in16th century, and it looks like this:  the Earth is placed at the center of the universe, the Sun, Moon and the stars revolve around the Earth, and the other planets, in their turn, revolve around the Sun. </span>
