Democritus believed that the universe was composed of atoms, correctly, of course. However, at the time, Plato's and Aristotle's hypothesi were just as valid because everyone was a philosopher. There were no scientists back then.
(1) a beta particle is your answer. Na-24 decays through beta decay, turning a neutron into a proton, electron (beta particle), and an neutrino.
Answer:
atom are very tiny partical
Answer:
pH =3.8
Explanation:
Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:
HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]
The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.
In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:
HA H₃O⁺ A⁻
Initial, M 0.40 0 0
Change , M -x +x +x
Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x
Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:
Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )
Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,
7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³
[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³
Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.
pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8
Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.
The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.
With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.
