Answer:

When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U234). These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms "uranium.") The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope — that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively. On an atomic level, the size and weight of these isotopes are slightly different. This implies that with the right equipment and under the right conditions, the isotopes can be separated.

The blackbody radation emmitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of 1.9 x 10^-6 m (0.0000019 m). what is the temperature ins

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Temperature, T = 1542.10 K

Explanation:

It is given that,

The black body radiation emitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of, $\lambda=1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m$

We need to find the temperature inside the furnace. The relationship between the temperature and the wavelength is given by Wein's law i.e.

$\lambda\propto \dfrac{1}{T}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}$

b = Wein's displacement constant

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{T}$

$T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{\lambda}$

$T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m}$

T = 1542.10 K

So, the temperature inside the furnace is 1542.10 K. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which list correctly identifies each particle?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

x represents an electron and y represents a proton and a neutron.

Explanation:

electrons are the smallest particle in an atom and protons and neutrons are a lot larger. thats why only protons and neutrons are weighed in atomic mass. electrons are too small to make a difference in the atom's weight.
