Answer:

Explanation:

The deeper you go into water, the greater pressure there is on everything. This compresses the air inside and causes the volume to shrink.

Sometimes air is measured in bars. Let's assume the Earth's surface pressure is 1. Let's also say that your lungs have 5.5L and the tank has 11L. That's only 2 breathes, but under 200 bars of pressure deep in the ocean? That's 200 x 11, which equals 2200L. That's about 400 breathes.

In addition, if making liters out of thin air doesn't make any sense, there's an alternative where you divide your liters per breath by the bar pressure. So instead of 200 x 11, you can take your 5.5 from your lungs and divide it by 200. That small number, in this case, 0.0275, can serve as how much air you breath deep in the ocean.

I am finding the formula of a compound that has 60% Carbon, 32% Oxygen, and 8% Hydrogen. Although, when it comes to actually cre

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula of the compound, the empirical formula must be determined first. To determine the empirical formula, the percentage of each constituent is divided by its molar mass. This is shown below

Carbon = 60/12 = 5

Oxygen = 32/16 = 2

Hydrogen = 8/1 = 8

The next step is to divide each ratio by the smallest value. The smallest value is 2. It becomes

Carbon = 5/2 = 2.5

It is approximated to 3

Oxygen = 2/2 = 1

Hydrogen = 8/2 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula is

C3H4O

From the given relative molecular mass of the compound, the molecular formula can be determined

The metallic radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. What is the volume of a potassium atom in cubic meters?

Sauron [17]

1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
= 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
= 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?

Marina CMI [18]

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

A sample of sodium-24 with an activity of 14 mCi is used to study the rate of blood flow in the circulatory system. If sodium-24

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

Where;

t1/2 = half life of the sodium-24

t = time taken

Ao = initial activity of sodium-24

A= activity of sodium-24 at time t

0.693/15 = 2.303/15 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.1535 log (14/A)

0.0462/0.1535 = log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.1535

14/A = Antilog(0.3)

14/A= 1.995

A = 14/1.995

A = 7.0 mCi

0.693/15 = 2.303/30 log (14/A)

0.0462 =0.0768 log(14/A)

0.0462/0.0768 =log (14/A)

(14/A) =Antilog (0.6)

A = 14/Antilog (0.6)

A = 3.5 mCi

0.693/15 = 2.303/45 log (14/A)

0.0462= 0.0512 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.0512

log (14/A) = 0.9

(14/A) = Antilog (0.9)

A= 14/Antilog (0.9)

A = 14/7.9

A = 1.77 mCi

2.5 days = 2.5 * 24 hours = 60 hours

0.693/15 = 2.303/60 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.03838 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.03838

(14/A) = Antilog(1.2)

A= 14/Antilog(1.2)

A = 14/15.8

A = 0.886 mCi

Note that activity (A) decreases as time increases.
