Answer:

Helium nuclei is emitted during alpha decay.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Example:

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

The air pressure for a certain tire is 113 KPa. What is the pressure I’m atmosphere
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 1.11 atm

Explanation:

The unit of pressure include kilopascal (kPa), atmospheres (atm), mmHg etc

Now, given that:

Air pressure = 113 KPa

Convert kPa to atm

If 101.325 kPa = 1 atm

113 kPa = Z atm

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z atm x 101.325 kPa = 1 atm x 113 kPa

Z = ( 1 atm x 113 kPa) / 101.325 kPa

Z = 1.11 atm

Thus, the pressure is 1.11 atm
