ANALOGY: Evaporates are to chemical sedimentary as dead fish are to clastic sedimentary.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.

Murljashka [212]

Answer: The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$ . Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

What is the Newman projection for Citric Acid?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

A Newman projection, useful in alkane stereochemistry, visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom represented by a dot and the back carbon as a circle. The front carbon atom is called proximal, while the back atom is called distal.

It has been suggested that the surface melting of ice plays a role in enabling speed skaters to achieve peak performance. Carry

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a) Pf = 689.4 bar

b) P = 226.6 bar

c) T = 269.99 K

Explanation:

a)

The molar volume of ice is equal to:

Vi = m/p = (18.02x10^-3 kg H2O/1 mol H2O)*(1 m^3/920 kg) = 1.96x10^-5 m^3 mol^-1

The molar volume of liquid water is equal to:

Vl = (18.02x10^-3 kg/1 mol)*(1 m^3/997 kg) = 1.8x10^-5 m^3 mol^-1

The change in volume is equal to:

ΔVchange = Vi-Vl = 1.96x10^-5 - 1.8x10^-5 = 1.5x10^-6 m^3 mol^-1

using the Clapeyron equation:

Pf = Pi + ((ΔHf*ΔT)/(ΔVf*Ti)) = 1.013x10^5 Pa + ((6010 J mol^-1 * 4.7 K)/(1.5x10^-6 * 273.15 K)) = 6.89x10^7 Pa = 689.4 bar

b)

For the pressure we will use the equation:

P = (m*g)/A, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration of gravity and A is the area. Replacing values:

P = (79 kg * 9.81 m s^-2)/(1.9x10^-4 m * 0.18 m) = 2.26x10^7 Pa = 226.6 bar

c)

From Clapeyron´s expression we need to clear ΔT:

ΔT = ((Pf-Pi)*ΔV*Ti)/ΔHf = ((2.26x10^7 - 6.89x10^7)*1.5x10^-6*273.15)/6010 = -3.16 K

you can evaluate the new melting point of ice:

T = Ti + ΔT = 273.15 K - 3.16 K = 269.99 K

What type of fuel does a nuclear power plant use to generate steam

AlekseyPX

They use Uranium fuel, consisting of solid ceramic pellets, to produce electricity through a process called fission. Nuclear power plants obtain the heat needed to produce steam through a physical process. This process, called fission, entails the splitting of atoms of uranium in a nuclear reactor.

Hope this helps! :)
