Answer:about 10,000 years b maybe

Explanation:Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. High-level wastes are hazardous because they produce fatal radiation doses during short periods of direct exposure.

It can stay radioactive from 1,000 to 10,000 years. I honestly don’t know which answer to choose but it’s going to be between those two.

Calculate the p value of each ion indicated:
Nataliya [291]
27/208  = normality

12 x 10^-2 approx  = normality

nw Ka = 14.3 x 10^-3

pKa = 3 - log 14

now, after getting the pKa put it in formula  :
pH = pKa + log concn of ion/concn of salt and you'll get it

hope this helps

calculate the wavelength of light associated with the transition from n=1 to n=3 in the hydrogen atom?
inessss [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

\Delta E=E_{final}-E_{initial}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{(n_f^2)}-\frac {1}{(n_i^2 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{3^2)}-\frac {1}{(1^2 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{(9)}-\frac {1}{(1 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[0.111-1]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=1166 KJ mol^{-1}

\frac{=1166,000 \mathrm{J}}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text { photons }}

=193623 \times 10^{-23}  \frac {J}{photon}

\Delta E=1.93623 \times 10^{-18}  \frac {J}{photon}

\Delta E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda} \\\\=\frac {(6.626\times 10^{-34} J s \times 3 \times 10^8 ms^{-1})}{\lambda}

h is planck's constant  

c is the speed of light

λ is the wavelength of light  

\lambda =\frac {h\times c}{\Delta E}\\\\=\frac {(6.626\times10^{-34} J s\times3 \times 10^8 ms^{-1})}{(1.93623\times10^{-18}  J/photon)}

Wavelength

\lambda =10.3 \times 10^{-8} m \times \frac {(10^9 nm)}{1m}  =103 nm (Answer)

<em>Thus, the wavelength of light associated with the transition from n=1 to n=3 in the hydrogen atom is </em><u><em>103 nm.</em></u>
