The nuclear disintegration series of 238-U is the source of radon-222 in soil.

<h3>What is nuclear disintegration ?</h3>
  • The process of nuclear disintegration is how an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation.
  • A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive.
  • Alpha, beta, and gamma decay are three of the most prevalent types of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.
  • Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things.
  • Alpha particles may be present in the ionising radiation that is released.
  • As one atom transforms into another, radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy.
  • Helium ions are released from an atom's nucleus during alpha decay. A neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton and electron during beta decay.

After being thoroughly stirred at 10.°C, which mixture is heterogenous?(1) 25.0 g of KCl and 100. g of H2O
zheka24 [161]
The answer is (2) KNO3. This depends on the solubility of these four compounds at 10℃. For NaCl, it is 35.8 g, For NaNO3, 80.8 g. KCl, 31.2 g. KNO3, 21.9g. So only KNO3 is less than 25.0 g.

Need help with this chem question thanks
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A.

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but have a different structure. The molecule from which are looking an isomer has 5 carbons and 1 double bond. Then we need to look for another molecule with these components.

A.- This molecule has 5 carbons and 1 double bond, This structure is an isomer of the first one.

B.- This molecule has 3 carbons and 1 double bond, it's not an isomer of the first structure.

C. This molecule has 4 carbons and 1 triple bonds, it's not an isomer of the first structure.

D. This molecule has 5 carbons but it doesn't have any double bond, then it's not an isomer of the first structure.

Answer:

84672 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 72 m

Combined mass (m) = 120 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

We can obtain the energy by using the following formula:

E = mgh

Where

E => is the energy.

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

m => is the mass.

h => is the height.

E = 120 × 9.8 × 72

E = 84672 J

Thus, the energy is 84672 J
