Radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation refers to the transmission of energy by means of subatomic particles that travel as waves.

Radioactive isotopes are also known as radioisotopes, which have unstable combinations of subatomic particles (i.e., neutrons or protons) in their atomic nuclei, and thus may emit alpha particles, gamma rays or beta particles.

Radioactive isotopes such as C14 lost (emit) energy per unit of time, which is known as radiation or radioactive decay.

In conclusion, radiation decrease over time due to the concentration of radioactive atoms and the concentration decreases as radioactive particles are emitted (Option D).

Mr Singh is cooking using wo pans of oiling water. Both pans are made of steel, but one pan has a much thicker base than the oth
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When either pan is heated, energy is transferred via conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles remaining the same.

When the pans are heated, the particles in each pan vibrate faster and transfer this energy rapidly to neighboring particles.

The pan with a thicker base has more particles in it than the pan with lighter weight base. Note that, The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material in question. Hence, the thicker the base, the more the number of particles present and the longer the time it takes for the food to cook.

0.10 M potassium chromate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.20 M AgNO3 and 0.20 M Ba(NO3)2. What is the Ag+ concentrati
erastova [34]

Answer:

[Ag^{+}]=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

Explanation:

Given:

[AgNO3] = 0.20 M

Ba(NO3)2 = 0.20 M

[K2CrO4] = 0.10 M

Ksp of Ag2CrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-12

Ksp of BaCrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-10

BaCrO_4 (s)\leftrightharpoons  Ba^{2+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ba^{2+}][CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.2\times 10^{-10}=(0.20)[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

[CrO_{4}^{2-}]=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-10}}{(0.20)}= 6.0\times 10^{-10}

Now,

Ag_{2}CrO_4(s) \leftrightharpoons  2Ag^{+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.1\times 10^{-12}=[Ag^{+}]^{2}](6.0\times 10^{-10})

[Ag^{+}]^{2}]=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{(6.0\times 10^{-10})}= 1.8\times 10^{-3}

[Ag^{+}]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-3}}=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

So, BaCrO4 will start precipitating when [Ag+] is 4.2 x 1.2^-2 M

Balance the following reaction: AL2O3 + HCI ⇒ ALCI3 + H2O
Anastaziya [24]
To balance the following chemical equation, make a tally or a count of each of the atoms on both sides of the reaction, and make sure that those atoms are equal on both the reactant and product side.

AL2O3 + HCl => ALCl3 + H2O

Left side. Right side
AL = 2. AL = 1
O = 3 Cl = 3
H = 1. H = 2
Cl = 1. O = 1

First balance the metal atoms, aluminum, then hydrogen and then oxygen.

Balanced equation :
AL2O3 + 6HCl => 2ALCl3 + 3H2O.

Left side. Right side
AL = 2 AL = 2
O = 3 Cl = 6
H = 6 H = 6
Cl = 6 O = 3.
