The particles released during alpha decay are called alpha particles. Alpha particles have greater mass and charge than other emitted particles.

  • Radioactive emissions are the transfer of energy through the flow of particles or waves in a medium
  • There are 3 types of radioactive emissions which are alpha, beta and gamma
  • In alpha radiation, the nucleus emits an alpha particle which is equivalent to a helium nucleus
  • In beta radiation, an electron is emitted to convert a neutron to a proton
  • In gamma radiation, the nucleus just loses energy

Since alpha particles have more mass and charge, they are more ionising and lose more energy at a faster rate and can be blocked easily.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s

How would decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel affect each of the following equilibria?2NOBr(g)⇌2NO(g)+Br2(g)
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The equilibrium position will shift towards the left hand side or reactants side

Explanation:

Decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) of the system will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side or reactants side. This is because, decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) implies shifting the equilibrium position towards the side having the least number of moles.

There are two moles of reactants and a total of three moles of products(total). Hence decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure of the gas phase reaction will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side.
