1. According to Rutherford and soddy's law of Beta emission:

${K}^{42} \: ---> {Ca}^{40} + {2e}^{0}$

3. According to Rutherford and soddy's law of Alpha emission:

${U}^{238} \: ---> {Th}^{234} + {He}^{4}$

4. The process in which two or more light nuclei are combined to form a single nucleus with the release of tremendous amount of energy is called a nuclear fusion. The inner core of Sun is at very high temperature and is suitable for fusion. In fact the source of energy of Sun and other stars is nuclear fusion reactions.

Photosynthesis uses 660-nm light to convert co2 and h2o into glucose and o2. calculate the frequency of this light.

Allushta [10]

The unit expressed in 660 nm of light represents the wavelength of light. If you want to determine the frequency, you use the speed of light to relate the two. The formula is:

c = λν
where
λ is the wavelength
ν is the frequency
c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m

Apply SI units:
(3×10⁸ m) = (660×10⁻⁹ m)(ν)
Solving for ν,
<em>ν = 4.55×10¹⁴ s⁻¹</em>

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

$HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.25 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0084$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7$

Thus pH is 2.7

What protects the Earth from meteorites and the sun's rays? (4 points)

inna [77]

I believe the answer is D. The atmosphere, different layers of the atmosphere can help in different ways! The stratosphere helps protect us from the sun's rays; The Mesophere is what helps protect us from meteorites! It's so cold that they burn up in that area.

Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N
