What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?

Chemistry
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.

The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300. If a nuclear bomb released 8kg of this isotope, how many years would pass before the am
Aneli [31]

Answer:

= 72900 years

Explanation:

  • The half-life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half the original amount.
  • The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300 years which means it takes 24300 years to decay by half the original amount.

To calculate the time taken for a mass of 8 kg to decay to 1 kg we use;

New mass = Original mass x (1/2) ^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Therefore;

1 kg = 8 kg × (1/2)^n

1/8 = (1/2)^n

solving for n;

n =3

Therefore;

Time = 3 × 24300 years

          = 72900 years

It will, therefore, take 72900 years for 8 kg of plutonium-239 to decay to 1 kg.

Sodium hydride reacts with excess water to produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:NaH (s) H2O (l) → NaOH (aq) H2 (g)A
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

NaH(s)+ H2O (l)=>NaOH(aq)+H2(g)

You want to calculate the mass of NaH, I assume.  Otherwise, the question isn't clear.  It simply says calculate the mass(??)

 

So, calculate the moles of H2 gas that satisfy the conditions of 982 ml at 28ºC and 765 torr.  But you must subtract the vapor pressure of water at 28º to get the actual pressure of the H2 gas.  So, the actual conditions are 982 ml (0.982 L) and 301 K and 765-28 = 737 torr.

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT = (737 torr)(0.982 L)/(62.4 L-torr/Kmol)(301 K)

n = 0.0385 moles H2

 

moles NaH needed = 0.0385 moles H2 x 1 mole NaH/mole H2 = 0.0385 moles NaH required

mass of NaH needed = 0.0385 moles x 24 g/mole = 0.925 g NaH
