Trainers use this substance because the reaction of the product on the skin is an exothermic one. This produces a feeling of warmth and heat. Heating an injury like a sprain with warmth or heat increases blood flow to the area and promotes healing as the flow of blood carries the necessary substances for healing.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid? A. It is a proton donor. B. It is a proton acceptor. C. It produces hydroxide ions

Katen [24]

Hello.

The answer is: D it produces hyrogen ions in a solution.

This is correct because when Arrhenius acid it turns into hydrogen ions.substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water.
