An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. he then turns around and follows the path back to

the source of the food. what is his displacement when he arrives back at the food source? 0.00 meters 2.13 meters 4.26 meters 8.52 meters

<span>Answer: 0.00 meters

  Solution:

    Step 1: Define displacement DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."

  Step 2: Understand the question

 Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).

  Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).

   Step 3: Analyze the question

  What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?

  The ant started and ended its journey in the same place.

 While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)

  Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

Which member of each pair is the stronger base? part a ethylamine or aniline ethylamine or aniline ethylamine aniline request an
Vladimir79 [104]
Lowery-Bronsted theory is applied here. Acc. to this theory Base accepts protons and Acids donate proton.

Part 1: 
Aniline is less basic than ethylamine because the lone pair on nitrogen (which accepts proton) is not localized. It resonates throughout the conjugated system of phenyl ring. Hence due to unavailability of electrons for accepting proton it is less basic compare to ethylamine. In ethyl amine the lone pair of electron is localized and available to abstract proton.

Part 2:
In this case the alkyl groups attached to -NH₂ (in ethylamine) and -O⁻ (in ethoxide are same (i.e. CH₃-CH₂-). Ethoxide is more basic than ethylamine because ethoxide is a conjugate base of ethanol (pKa value of ethanol = 15.9 very weak acid) and the conjugate base of weak acid is always a strong base. Secondly, the oxygen atom more Electronegative than Nitrogen atom can attract more electron cloud from alkyl group as compared to Nitrogen in ethylamine. Hence, oxygen in ethoxide attains greater electron cloud than the nitrogen in ethylamine. Therefore, it is more basic than ethylamine.

What is the decay mode of radium-226?
inn [45]

Answer:

Radium-226 is a radioactive decay product in the uranium-238 decay series and is the precursor of radon-222. Radium-228 is a radioactive decay product in the thorium-232 decay series. Both isotopes give rise to many additional short-lived radionuclides, resulting in a wide spectrum of alpha, beta and gamma radiations.
