3 0

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>The following reasons tell why atom combine to form compounds:</u>

1) They want to follow octet or duplet rule and attain the noble gas configuration.

2) They combine to form compounds because of the electrostatic attraction between them.

3) They form compounds to lower their energy and to become stable.

Compare and contrast the positive and negative effects that result from the use of the Haber process.
Luda [366]

Answer: Positive effects: mass production of fertilizers, alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes, explosives

Negative effects: heath problems, negative effects on soil organisms and soil organic matter,  imbalances to the nitrogen cycle, high fossil fuel energy inputs, production of deadly weapons

Explanation:

The Haber process (also called Haber Bosch process) is used to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen under the high pressure. Basically, it's an artificial nitrogen fixation process. This method has both positive and negative effects on modern society.

Positive sides: ammonia is mainly used for mass production of fertilizer, which allows more food for everyone. It can be used for production of alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes and explosives. Ammonia is also used in production of synthetic polymers, due to its role in the manufacturing of cyanide.

Negative sides: ammonia is a toxic gas, it can irritate eyes and lungs. Because of that, the excess nitrogen in soil and water coming from synthetic fertilizers can cause health problems. It is harmful for humans and animals, but it can also be harmful for plants. Environmental factors are also important. Because of the mass fixation, there is imbalance in the earth’s nitrogen cycle. Also, fossil fuels are used as a source of power for machinery in Haber's process, which increases emissions into the atmosphere. And, at least ammonia is a major component of weapons including great number of bombs.

Phosphorus-32 (32P) is an isotope that is commonly used for medical and biological research. Phosphorus-32 has a half-life of 14
Pachacha [2.7K]

The activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer is 4.54 mCi

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed </h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Time (t) = 48 hours
  • Half-life (t½) = 14.28 days = 14.28 × 24 = 342.72 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 48 / 342.72

n = 0.14

<h3>How to determine the activity of the sample during shipping </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 0.14
  • Original activity (N₀) = 5.0 mCi
  • Activity remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 5 / 2^0.14

N = 4.54 mCi

Thus, the activity of the sample during shipping is 4.54 mCi
