Explanation:

Uranium have an unstable nuclei , hence it  is a radioactive element , and radioactive element can undergo radioactive decay like the alpha decay , beta decay .

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus which , results in the release of energy along with radioactive particles , like alpha , beta , gamma etc .

Hence ,

The mass is lost from a sample of uranium .

Using scientific terms and knowledge, explain what might happen if you were to place an unopened can of Monster Energy drink in
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The heat could put stress on the metabolism, which could lead to dehydration. Energy drinks are designed to be stimulants and can give people a little edge when playing sports. They can also be dangerous because stimulants can increase body temperature and pose a hypothermia threat. But if you leav it in the stove then it the liquid would eventually evaporate and the sugar would be left. But, that also would leave the rest of the sugar which would look like tar or slime.

Ideal Gas Law Question How many moles of C2H4O are in a 58.953 L container at 467.81kPa and 446.11 °C?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The number of moles of gas in the container would be 4.62 moles

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law:

  PV = nRT, where P = pressure, V, volume, n = mole number, and R = constant = 8.31

In this case, V = 58.953 L, P 467.81 kPa, and T = 719.11 K

Making n the subject:

   n = PV/RT = 58.953 x 467.81/8.31 x 719.11 = 4.62 moles
