Answer : The correct option is, (D) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.

Explanation :

Radioactive decay : It is a process in which a less stable nuclei spontaneously breakdown or decomposes into a stable nuclei. During this process some amount of radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations are released.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.

6. The Earth’s electric field is directed vertically downward; at the ground level its strength is E = 130 N/C, and at an altitu
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

5.31x10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

The cube is located 100 m altitude from the ground, so the superior face is at 100m and has E = 70 N/C, and the inferior face is at the ground with E = 130 N/C.

The electric field is perpendicular to the bottom and the top of the cube, so the total flux is the flux at the superior face plus the flux at the inferior face:

Фtotal = Ф100m + Фground

Where Ф = E*A*cos(α). α is the angle between the area vector and the field (180° at the topo and 0° at the bottom):

Фtotal = E100*A*cos(180°) + Eground*A*cos(0°)

Фtotal = 70A*(-1) + 130*A*1

Фtotal = 60A

By Gauss' Law, the flux is:

Фtotal = q/ε, where q is the charge, and ε is the permittivity constant in vacuum = 8.854x10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

A = 100mx100m = 10000 m²

q = 60*10000*8.854x10⁻¹²

q = 5.31x10⁻⁶ C

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Endothermic

It absorbs heat

1.20 × 10³ kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 H₂O(l) → 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g)    ΔH = 572 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic, that is, it absorbs heat when H₂O reacts.

572 kJ are absorbed when 36.03 g of water react. The heat absorbed when 75.8 g of H₂O react is:

75.8 g H₂O × (572 kJ/36.03 g H₂O) = 1.20 × 10³ kJ
