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

.28 days. A researcher orders a sample of 32P that has an activity of 5.0 mCi when it arrives. If delivery of the sample took 48 hours, what was the activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer

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

A scuba diver knows that she needs 50.0mol of air for an upcoming dive. What size (volume) tank will she need to fill for this d
erica [24]

Answer:

1120 L.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, as no conditions of pressure of temperature are given for this problem, we can assume that the scuba diver dives at STP (1 atm and 273.15 K), which means that 1 mole of air would occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

In such a way, since she needs 50.0 moles of air, the following ratio is useful to compute the size (volume) of the tank she needs:

V_2=\frac{V_1*n_2}{n_1}

Thereby, we plug in to obtain:

V_2=\frac{22.4L*50.0mol}{1mol}\\\\V_2=1120 L

Best regards!

Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.

Heat is added to a 200.-gram sample of H2O(s) to melt the sample at 0°C. Then the resulting H2O (image) is heated to a final tem
pochemuha
You are given 200 grams of H2O(s) at an initial temperature of 0°C. you are also given the final temperature of water after heating at 65°C. You are required to get the total amount of heat to melt the sample. The specific heat capacity, cp, of water is 4.186 J/g-°C. Let us say that T1 = 0°C and T2 = 65°C. The equation for heat, Q, is  

Q = m(cp)(T2-T1)
Q = 200g(4.186 J/g-°C )(65°C - 0°C)
<u>Q = 54,418J</u>
