Answer:

If you change the number of neutrons in an atom, you get an isotope of the same element. The addition of a neutron can make an atom radioactive. When you change the number of protons in an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element.

HELP ASAP <br> Describe when contact metamorphism occurs?

diamong [38]

Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)
