Answer:

It is related to certain common meanings.

Explanation:

The word diffusion comes from the Latin diffusio (wide, dilated, scattered, something that is not appreciated correctly). The term diffusion is related to its Latin word because it is used to refer to the idea that something is scattered, scattered or spread. For example, the word diffusion is used to refer to the idea of the dissemination of news, culture or knowledge.

Have a nice day!

it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

The product of the nuclear reaction in which 40Ar is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ________. The pr
Orlov [11]

Answer:

37S

Explanation:

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.

We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.

In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.

23892U = 23490Th + 42He

Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.

147N + 42He = 178O + 11P

For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is

4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He

So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.

39. Which bond is least polar?<br> A) As-C1<br> B) Bi-CI<br> C) P-CI<br> D) N-C1
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) N-Cl.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of the elements in Group 5 (N. P As and Bi) decreases as we go down the Group so N is the most electronegative and chlorine is less able to draw electrons away from N than from the other elements in Group 5.

A tank of oxygen has a volume of 1650 L. The temperature of the gas inside is 35?C. If there are 9750 moles of oxygen in the tan
Paul [167]

Answer:

2192.64 PSI.

Explanation:

  • From the general law of ideal gases:

<em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the container in L (V = 1650 L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 9750 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).

T is the temperature of the gas in (T = 35°C + 273 = 308 K).

∴ P = nRT/V = (9750 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(308 K)/(1650 L) = 149.2 atm.

  • <u><em>To convert from atm to PSI:</em></u>

1 atm = 14.696 PSI.

<em>∴ P = 149.2 atm x (14.696 PSI/1.0 atm) = 2192.64 PSI.</em>
