Answer:

alpha particle, proton, beta particle

Explanation:

Protons are fundamental sub-atomic particles present inside the nucleus of an atom. The mass of a proton is around  1 amu (atomic mass unit).

Alpha (α) and beta (β) particles are by products of radioactive decay. Alpha particles are essentially a composite of 2 protons and 2 neutrons similar to the He nucleus. Therefore, the have a mass of 4 amu

Beta particles are high energy particles which can either be electrons (negative charge) or positron (positive charge). They have a mass which is 1/2000th the mass of a proton.

Therefore, the mass from the largest to the smallest would be:

alpha > proton > beta

How many moles of mercury(Hg) are in 1.30 *10.7 atoms or mercury
Svetach [21]
1 mole Hg --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
?? moles Hg ------------ 1.30x10⁷ atoms

(1.30x10⁷) x 1 / 6.02x10²³ => 2.159x10⁻¹⁷ moles

A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold

10. At 573K, NO2(g) decomposes forming NO and O2. The decomposition reaction is second order in NO2 with a rate constant of 1.1
leva [86]

Answer:

48.67 seconds

Explanation:

From;

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o

[A] = concentration at time t

t= time taken

k= rate constant

[A]o = initial concentration

Since [A] =[A]o - 0.75[A]o

[A] = 0.056 M - 0.042 M

[A] = 0.014 M

1/0.014 = (1.1t) + 1/0.056

71.4 - 17.86 = 1.1t

53.54 = 1.1t

t= 53.54/1.1

t= 48.67 seconds

Hence,it takes 48.67 seconds to decompose.
