Answer:

In summary, because of metal's unique properties, it can be an excellent heat shield (such as when aluminum foil is wrapped around warm food) or an excellent heat sink (such as when metals fins are attached to computer chips).

Explanation:

Convection requires a fluid material that can move around. Typically, metals are solid, not fluid, and therefore do not participate in convection. ... This means that metal can be either a good heat shield, a mediocre heat shield, or a bad heat shield, depending on how we use it.

You start out with 800 moles of a radioactive substance. After 24 hours, 100 moles remain. What is the half-life of the substanc

Nookie1986 [14]

The half life of the substance is 8 hours , Option D is the correct answer.

What is Half Life ?

Half-life is the time required by an unstable element to reduce to half of its initial value.

The term is commonly used in nuclear physics.

The formula is

$\rm N(t) = \; N_{0} \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2} } }$

N(t) = quantity of the substance remaining

N ₀ = initial quantity of the substance

t = time elapsed

$\rm t_{1/2}$ = half life of the substance

The data given in the question is N ₀ = 800 moles , N(t)= 100 , t= 24 hours

$\rm t_{1/2} =\; ?$

Substituting values in the equation

$\rm 100 = \; 800 \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }$

$\rm \dfrac{100}{800} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm \dfrac{1}{8} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3} = \;(\dfrac{1}{2} )^{\frac{24}{t_{1/2} } }\\\\\rm 3=\dfrac{24}{t_{1/2} }\\\\t_{1/2}= \dfrac{24}{3}\\\\t_{1/2} = 8 hours$

Therefore half life of the substance is 8 hours , Option D is the correct answer.

What is a molar solution?

mina [271]

Answer:

Molar concentration is a measure of the concentration of a chemical species, in particular of a solute in a solution, in terms of amount of substance per unit volume of solution. In chemistry, the most commonly used unit for molarity is the number of moles per liter, having the unit symbol mol/L or mol/dm³ in SI unit.
