Answer: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.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the energy needed to begin breaking the bonds of reactants and is denoted as option D.
<h3>What is a Reactant?</h3>
These are the substances which take part in a chemical reaction and result in the formation of the product.
The activation energy is required as it breaks the bonds of the reactant thereby resulting in the product being formed. This therefore makes it the most appropriate choice.

By Boyles Law (P1V1=P2V2), substituting values in and solving for V2, we find that the new volume is 3.6 L<span />
The heat required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of sample to a specific temperature change, we use the formula mCpΔT where m is mass, Cp is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the temperature change. In this case, we substitute and form 1.25 g x 0.057 cal/g C *20 C equal to 1.425 calories.
Answer:
We could do two 1:50 dilutions and one 1:4 dilutions.
Explanation:
Hi there!
A solution that is 1000 ug/ ml (or 1000 mg / l) is 1000 ppm.
Knowing that 1 ppm = 1000 ppb, 100 ppb is 0.1 ppm.
Then, we have to dilute the stock solution (1000 ppm / 0.1 ppm) 10000 times.
We could do two 1:50 dilutions and one 1:4 dilutions (50 · 50 · 4 = 10000). Since the first dilution is 1:50, you will use the smallest quantity of the stock solution (if we use the 10.00 ml flask):
First step (1:50 dilution):
Take 0.2 ml of the stock solution using the third dispenser (20 - 200 ul), and pour it in the 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark (concentration : 1000 ppm / 50 = 20 ppm).
Step 2 (1:50 dilution):
Take 0.2 ml of the solution made in step 1 and pour it in another 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark. Concentration 20 ppm/ 50 = 0.4 ppm)
Step 3 (1:4 dilution):
Take 2.5 ml of the solution made in step 3 (using the first dispenser 1 - 5 ml) and pour it in a 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark. Concentration 0.4 ppm / 4 = 0.1 ppm = 100 ppb.
