Answer:

15 g

Explanation:

Given,

Plutonium-244 = 30 g

We have to find the gram of Plutonium-244 left after 1 half-life.

We know that the half-life of a radioactive isotope is constant. The half-life of a Radioactive isotope does not depend on the initial amount of isotope.

Now,

After 1 half-life

Plutonium-244 left = \dfrac{30}{2}

                               = 15 g

Hence, 15 g of the Plutonium-244 will be left after 1 half-life.

What is mechanical waves
LuckyWell [14K]

Mechanical waves are those waves that  require a material medium for propagation.

<h3>What are mechanical waves?</h3>

Generally, we define a wave as a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. It then follows that waves move energy from one point to another.

Waves can be classified as;

  • Mechanical waves
  • Electromagnetic waves

Mechanical waves are those waves that  require a material medium for propagation such as sound, and waves on a strings.

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Total energy is 170 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg

melting point of alcohol is -114 degree c

specific heat us 0.60 k cal/kg degree c

energy need for 2 kg solid alcohol is

for Melting:

Energy Q is calculated as

Energy, Q = 25 \times 2.0 kg = 50 kJ

Energy required for Heating liquid:

Energy, ΔH = 2.0 kg \times 0.60 \times (100°C) = 120 kJ

Total  energy = (50 kJ + 120 kJ) = 170 kJ
