TEA [102]3 years ago
3 0
Plutonium<span> is </span>made<span> from U-238. Pu-239 is normally </span>created<span> in nuclear reactors by transmutation of individual atoms of one of the isotopes of uranium present in the fuel rods. Occasionally, when an atom of U-238 is exposed to neutron radiation, its nucleus will capture a neutron, changing it to U-239.</span>

When a piece of metal is irradiated with UV radiation (λ = 162 nm), electrons are ejected with a kinetic energy of 3.54×10-19 J.
dsp73

We have that the work function of the metal

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J

From the Question we are told that

UV radiation (λ = 162 nm)

Kinetic energy K.E =3.54*10-19 J.

Generally the equation for Kinetic energy    is mathematically given as

KE =\frac{hc}{\pi-\phi} \\\\\phi =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} * 3*10^8}{162*10^{-9} -3.54*10^{-19}}

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda​
navik [9.2K]

Answer: <em>When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.</em>

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.

Is 2 KNO₃ + H₂CO₃ → K₂CO₃ + 4 HNO₃ a balanced equation
krok68 [10]

Hey there!

The elements in this equation are K, N, O, H, and C.

Let's count how many of each are on each side to see if it is balanced.

K: 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

<em>N: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

<em>O: 9 on the left, 6 on the right. </em>

<em>H: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

C: 1 on the left, 1 on the right.

Notice that there are different amounts of N, O, and H on the left side and the right side.

This means that the equation is not balanced.

Hope this helps!
