A scientist notices that a lump of niobium is warm to the touch and wonders if nuclear reactions are taking place in the metal.

How can she find out?
Measure the metal’s temperature.
Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.
Look for the presence of niobium compounds.
Place the niobium in a pressurized container, and see if the lump becomes warmer.

Answer is: Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.

1) Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

2) Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.

3) During gamma emission the nucleus emits radiation without changing its composition.

A sample of black coffee was measured to have [h3o+] = 7.94 × 10−6. what is true about this solution?
Sveta_85 [38]
Being given the hydronium (or simply the hydrogen) ion concentration (molarity), one of the easiest properties of the solution to determine is its pH. The pH of a solution indicates the acidity (or basicity) of a given solution. The typical pH range of solutions is from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral, 1 to 6 being acidic, and 8 to 14 being basic. 

To determine the pH of a solution, the negative log (-log) of the hydronium/hydrogen ion concentration (molarity) of the solution is calculated. Thus (assuming that the given hydrogen ion concentration is in molarity (mol/L)),

             pH = -log(H^{+})          or          -log(H_{3} O^{+}
             pH = -log (<span>7.94 × 10−6 mol/L) 
             pH = 5.13

Because the pH is less than 7 (within the range 1 to 6), then the black coffee solution is acidic. </span>

If f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=2x+3, what is f(g(x))
IgorC [24]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{f(g(x)) = 4x^2 + 12x + 9}

Explanation:

In its raw form, function notation essentially represents an equation with only one unknown variable, expressed in terms of another.  Thus, f(x) = x² + 7x can be expressed as

g(x) = 2x + 3

f(g(x)) = (2x + 3)²

f(g(x)) = 4x² + 12x + 9

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.

sing any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 25.0°C for the following reaction
prisoha [69]

Answer:

2.76 × 10⁻¹¹  

Explanation:

I don’t have access to the ALEKS Data resource, so I used a different source. The number may be different from yours.

1. Calculate the free energy of formation of CCl₄

                         C(s)+ 2Cl₂(g)→ CCl₄(g)

ΔG°/ mol·L⁻¹:       0         0         -65.3

ΔᵣG° = ΔG°f(products) - ΔG°f(reactants) = -65.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

2. Calculate K

\text{The relationship between $\Delta G^{\circ}$ and K  is}\\\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K

T = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

\begin{array}{rcl}-65 300 & = & -8.314 \times 298.15 \ln K \\65300& = & 2479 \ln K\\26.34 & = & \ln K\\K& = & e^{26.34}\\&= & \mathbf{2.76 \times 10}^{\mathbf{11}}\\\end{array}
