Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?

marusya05 [52]

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:

Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )$ ,

where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from $n_1$ to $n_2$ and $R_h$ = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here $n_1$ and $n_2$ represents the transitions.

(a) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = infinity

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2} )$ = 109677/4 [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, $\lambda$ = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) $n_1$ =4 to $n_2$ = 20

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2} )$ = 6580.62

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) $n_1$ =3 to $n_2$ = 10

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2} )$ = 11089.56

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = 1

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2} )$ = - 82257.75

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 /82257.75 = - 0.0000121 m

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.

During the combustion of a peanut that weighed 0.341 g, the temperature of the 100 mL of water in the calorimeter rose from 23.4

blondinia [14]

Answer:

119 kCal per serving.

Explanation:

The heat energy necessary to elevates water's temperature from 23.4°C to 37.9°C can be calculated by the equation below:

Q = mcΔT

Q: heat energy

m: mass in g

c: specific heat capacity in cal/g°C

ΔT = temperature variation in °C

m is the mass of water, considering the density of water to be 1g/mL, 100 mL of water weights 100g. Therefore:

Q = 100 g x 1.00 cal/g°C x (37.9 - 23.4)°C

Q = 1450 cal

1450 cal ____ 0.341 g peanuts

x ____ 28 g peanuts

x = 119061.58 cal

This means that the cal from fat per serving of peanuts is at least 119 kCal.

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$
