Anettt [7]3 years ago

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.

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen<br> to form X g of water. X = g
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

When you breathe the first step is that your lungs expand. why is this step needed
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

What is Newton's first law of motion? How can you describe the effect of a vehicle restraint using Newton's first law of motion?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest, at a constant velocity, unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.  

Newtons First law of motion has to do with seat belts because think about it, what happens when we don't wear a seat belt and our vehicle comes to a quick stop. What happens to you? You move forward and stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon you. Now what is an unbalanced force? An unbalanced force is one that is not opposed by an equal and opposite force operating directly against the force intended to cause a change in the object's state of motion or rest. So, when you come to a stop, you wouldn't stop motion unless a force is caused to change your motion and put you at rest. If you were wearing a seat belt, the seat belt would act as the unbalanced force, it would stop you from being in motion.
