Furkat [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Can someone please help with giving me some important information about Zr-Zirconium because i can find it anywhere and i have a
butalik [34]

Answer:Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and atomic number 40. The name zirconium is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium. It is a lustrous, grey-white, strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium. Zirconium is mainly used as a refractory and opacifier, altho…

A gas exerts a pressure of 0.62 atm. Convert this to kPa and mmHg. Be sure to show your work.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.62 atm = 62.82 kPa = 471.2 mmHg

Explanation:

Data

P = 0.62 atm

P = ? kPa

P = ? mmHg

Process

1.- Look for the conversion factor of atm to kPa and mmHg

 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

1 atm = 760 mmHg

2.- Do the conversions

                  1 atm ----------------- 101.325 kPa

                  0.62 atm ------------  x

                   x = (0,62 x 101.325) / 1

                  x = 62.82 kPa

                   1 atm ------------------ 760 mmHg

                   0.62 atm ------------  x

                   x = (0.62 x 760)/1

                   x = 471.2 mmHg

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction. 2N205(g) <==> 4N02(g) + 02(g)
Elis [28]

Answer:

K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equilibrium reaction:

2 N₂O₅(g) ⇄ 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g)

The equilibrium reaction is obtained as the ratio between the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants over the products powered to its reaction coefficient. That is:

<h3>K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²</h3>
