Why are some atoms radioactive

1 answer:

8 0

Atoms are made of three types of sub-atomic particle: neutrons and protons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Some materials are radioactive because the nucleus of each atom is unstable and gives out nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays.

You have 50L of water, it froze. So find its new volume. Density of water is 1000kg/m^3 or 1kg/L, density of ice is 920kg/m^3 or

ad-work [718]

Answer:

D (density) = Mass / Volume

V (ice) = Mass / Density = 50000 g / .92 kg / L

V = 50 kg / .92 kg / L

1 Liter of water weighs 1 kilogram = 50 L weighs 50000 g

V = 54.3 L the mass does not change upon the change of phase (freezing)

One litre of crude oil weighs 9.6N. Calculate its specific weight, density and specific gravity.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{9600 \frac{N}{m^3}, 978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}, and \ 0.978}$ "

Explanation:

Given:

$\to v=1\ liter= 10^{-3} \ m^3\\\\\to w= 9.6 \ N\\$

calculation:

$Specific \ weight =\frac{w}{v}=\frac{9.6}{10^{-3}}=9600 \frac{N}{m^3} \\\\w=mg\\\\m= \frac{w}{g}=\frac{9.6}{9.81}=0.9785\ kg\\\\\rho\ (density)=\frac{m}{v}=\frac{0.9785}{10^{-3}}=978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}\\\\specific \ gravity = \frac{\prho \ obj}{\rho w}=\frac{978.54}{1000}=0.978$

What is also known as watered carbons

faltersainse [42]

The name carbohydrate means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules. Many carbohydrates have empirical formuli which would imply about equal numbers of carbon and water molecules. For example, the glucose formula C6H12O6 suggests six carbon atoms and six water molecules.

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.

Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome
