Answer:

The sun radiates energy in all directions.

Explanation:

Most of it dissipates into space, but the tiny fraction of the sun's energy that reaches Earth is enough to heat the planet and drive the global weather system by warming the atmosphere and oceans

Thrust acts on the spacecraft and propels in the space.

<h3>How space shuttles move?</h3>

1. The force created by the shuttle's engines in expelling the burning fuel produces an equal thrust in the opposite direction. This thrust acts on the spacecraft and propels in the space.

2. The thermosphere and the stratosphere are our hottest atmosphere layers because these two layers are present near the sun as compared to other layers of atmosphere.

3. When the meteors hit the atmosphere, meteors rub against air particles and create friction which is heating the meteors. The heat vaporizes most meteors, creating what we call shooting stars.

When an unknown amine reacts with an unknown acid chloride, an amide with a molecular mass of 163 g/mol (M = 163 m/z) is formed.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

As the molecular mass of given amine is 163 g/mol (a odd number) it means that this compound contains a odd number of Nitrogen atoms. We will first apply Rule of Thirteen to get the molecular formula.

Rule of Thirteen:

First divide the parent peak value by 13 as,

= 163 ÷ 13

= 12.53

Now, multiply 13 by 12,

= 13 × 12 (here, 12 specifies number of carbon atoms)

= 156

Now subtract 156 from 163,

= 163 - 156

= 7

Add 7 into 12,

= 7 + 12

= 19 (hydrogen atoms)

So, the rough formula we have is,

C₁₂H₁₉

Now, add one Nitrogen atom to above formula and subtract one Carbon and 2 Hydrogen atoms as these numbers are equal to atomic mass of Nitrogen atom as,

C₁₂H₁₉ -------N--------> C₁₁H₁₇N

Also, as shown in ¹³C-NMR there is one peak around 180 ppm and the peak at 1661 cm⁻¹ in IR spectrum is characteristic to carbonyl group hence, we will add one oxygen atom to the chemical formula accordingly. i.e.

C₁₁H₁₇N -------O--------> C₁₀H₁₃NO

Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₃NO

Also,

In NMR the the four peaks around 120 ppm are assigned to a mono substituted benzene ring.

The absence of IR peak above 3200 cm⁻³ also confirms that the amine is tertiary in nature and there is no hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom.

It can be observed that the peaks in upfield are duplicating. This can be due to the presence of rotamers of said compound.

The most plausible structure for given data is shown below, and the resonance structure along with rotamers are also shown.

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X$

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}$

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

92 = 2 + Z , so Z = 92 - 2 = 90

And your nuclear equation becomes

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}$

Element 90 is thorium, so

$\rm X = _{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

What does transmutation do

dexar [7]

Answer:

transmutation, conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation entails a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and hence may be induced by a nuclear reaction (q.v.), such as neutron capture, or occur spontaneously by radioactive decay, such as alpha decay and beta decay .
