the stability of the radioactive element

Explanation:

The stability of a radioactive element can influence the rate of nuclear decay reaction. Pressure, temperature and concentration only affects chemical changes. These factors would not have any effect on radioactive decay of an element.

  • Every atomic nucleus have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
  • Any nucleus that deviates from the stability ratio will continue to split until it achieves stability.
  • The more unstable a nucleus is, the faster it decays.
  • This is the basis of radioactive decay of elements.

If you added 15,000 calories to 2.0 L of water that was at 25.0 degrees C, what temperature would it be at when you finished?
rewona [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>When we finish, the temperature would be 32.5℃</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density of water = mass/volume

So,

Mass of water = Density × Volume

\\\\$=1.0   \times  2.0 L$\\\\$=1.0 \frac{g}{m L} \times 2000 m L$\\\\$\quad=2000 g$

$Q=m \times c \times \Delta T$

where

\Delta T = Final T - Initial T

Q is the heat energy in calories

c is the specific heat capacity (for water 1.0  cal/(g℃))  

m is the mass of water

plugging in the values  

$15000 \mathrm{Cal}=2000 \mathrm{g} \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times \Delta T$

\\$\Delta T=\frac{15000 \mathrm{cal}}{2000 \mathrm{g} \times \frac{1.0 \mathrm{cal}}{g^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}}$\\\\$\Delta T=7.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Final T = ∆T + Initial T

= 7.5℃ + 25℃ = 32.5℃ (Answer).

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.  

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.    

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

Balance the equation for the reaction in which sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

➢ \: Balance \:  the  \: equation \:  for \:  the  \: reaction \\  in \:  which \:  sodium  \: oxide \:  reacts  \\ with  \: water \:  to \:  form  \: sodium \:  hydroxide.

⇒ We have Na2O + H2O --> NaOH. We have 2 sodiums and 2 oxygens and 2 hydrogens on the left side, but only one of each on the right side.

Sodium Oxide + Water → Sodium Hydroxide

⇒ Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH .

Sodium oxide is used in ceramics and glasses. Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution.

A graduated cylinder is filled with 34.4 mL of water. A toy Car that weighs 43.672-g is Gently placed in the cylinder and the wa
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:9.49g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of toy = 43.672g

Volume of water = 34.4mL

Volume of toy + volume of water = 39mL

Volume of toy = 39 — 34.4 = 4.6mL

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 43.672/4.6 = 9.49g/mL

Determine Δngas for each of the following reactions:(b) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2H₂O(l)
elixir [45]

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2H₂O(l)

Δngas = 0 - (2 +1)

           = -3

<h3>What is Δngas?</h3>

The number of moles of gas that move from the reactant side to the product side is denoted by the symbol ∆n or delta n in this equation.

Once more, n represents the growth in the number of gaseous molecules the equilibrium equation can represent. When there are exactly the same number of gaseous molecules in the system, n = 0, Kp = Kc, and both equilibrium constants are dimensionless.

<h3>Definition of equilibrium</h3>

When a chemical reaction does not completely transform all reactants into products, equilibrium occurs. Many chemical processes eventually reach a state of balance or dynamic equilibrium where both reactants and products are present.
