Why can’t energy be created or destroyed?

Chemistry

Becasue it violates the first law of Thermodynamics which directly states that "Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form"

This is because matter is energy, and if energy dissapeared, then theoreticly then we would not exsist, as we waste more energy to produce energy, plants use energy to make food, use that food to make energy, etc...

I don’t know if I’m right I’m taking a guess but isn’t it because energy comes from the sun and we can’t change the sun

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

What is the SI base unit for length?
sp2606 [1]

The SI base unit for length is meter.

In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.

When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.

Density is the ratio of a sample's mass to its volume. A bar of lead has a mass of 115.2 g. When it is submerged in 25.0 mL of w
Margarita [4]

Answer:

$10.97 \ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of a bar of lead = 115.2 g

Initial water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 25 mL

Final water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 35.5 mL

Difference in the water level = 35.5 - 25

                                               = 10.5 mL

                                               = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces its own volume of water.

Therefore, the volume of the lead bar = volume of the water displaced = 10.5 mL  = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that mathematically, density is the ratio of mass of body to its volume.

Density of the lead bar is given by :

$\rho =\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

$\rho =\frac{\text{115.2 g}}{\text{10.5 cm}^3}$

  = $10.97 \ g/cm^3$
