Answer:

The correct answer is C: A radiation consisting of uncharged particles is emitted when alpha particles strike beryllium atoms.

Explanation:

Chadwick discovered neutron while experimenting with a gold foil. A stream of alpha particles produced from a polonium source was directed at beryllium target. It was noticed that some penetrating radiations were produced. These uncharged particles were called neutrons because on the charge detector these particles showed no deflection.

Their nuclear reaction is as follow.

₂He + ₄Be ----------> ₀n + ₆C

Chadwick noticed that neutrons cannot ionize gases and are highly penetrating particles.

Answer: C. A radiation consisting of uncharged particles is emitted when alpha particles strike beryllium atoms.

A. Some uncharged particles are scattered by a beryllium atom when it hits a gold foil.

B. Some uncharged particles bounce back from a gold foil when it is bombarded with alpha particles.

C. A radiation consisting of uncharged particles is emitted when alpha particles strike beryllium atoms.

D. A radiation which attracts electrons is produced when a beryllium atom is bombarded with alpha particles.

Explanation:

I just took the test and the answer is C. A radiation consisting of uncharged particles is emitted when alpha particles strike beryllium atoms.

Good Luck!!

Ben observes how quickly some dry wood is burning in a campfire. Which term best relates to Ben’s observation?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Reaction rate

Explanation:

We are told that Ben observes how quickly some dry wood is burning in a campfire.

This is an example of reaction rate because it tells us the speed i.e. how fast the dry wood is reacting with the camp fire.

A cubic box with sides of 20.0 cm contains 2.00 × 1023 molecules of helium with a root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of 200

Anarel [89]

Answer:

1.133 kPa is the average pressure exerted by the molecules on the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Side of the cubic box = s = 20.0 cm

Volume of the box ,V= $s^3$

$V=(20.0 cm)^3=8000 cm^3=8\times 10^{-3} m^3$

Root mean square speed of the of helium molecule : 200m/s

The formula used for root mean square speed is:

$\mu=\sqrt{\frac{3kN_AT}{M}}$

where,

= root mean square speed

k = Boltzmann’s constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K$

T = temperature = 370 K

M = mass helium = $3.40\times 10^{-27}kg/mole$

$N_A$ = Avogadro’s number = $6.022\times 10^{23}mol^{-1}$

$T=\frac{\mu _{rms}^2\times M}{3kN_A}$

Moles of helium gas = n

Number of helium molecules = N = $2.00\times 10^{23}$

N = $N_A\times n$

Ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Substitution of values of T and n from above :

$PV=\frac{N}{N_A}\times R\times \frac{\mu _{rms}^2\times M}{3kN_A}$

$PV=\frac{N\times R\times \mu ^2\times M}{3k\times (N_A)^2}$

$R=k\times N_A$

$PV=\frac{N\times \mu ^2\times M}{3}$

$P=\frac{2.00\times 10^{23}\times (200 m/s)^2\times 3.40\times 10^{-27} kg/mol}{3\times 8\times 10^{-3} m^3}$

$P=1133.33 Pa =1.133 kPa$

(1 Pa = 0.001 kPa)

1.133 kPa is the average pressure exerted by the molecules on the walls of the container.

Which statement best explains the effect of the sestina structure in Elizabeth Bishop's "Sestina"?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The sestira structure makes the poem feel like a playful puzzle, but aciels nothing to the meaning of the poem

The repetition of the last word in each line creates a reflective rhythm and tone in the poem while also making significant words

easily recognizable

Explanation:

That was a really good one, I think you may want to go with that answer.

Convert a speed of 141 mi/h to units of feet per minute show work.

ozzi

Answer:

12408 feet per minute

Explanation:

Given: Speed is 141 mi/h

To find: speed in units of feet per minute

Solution:

Use the following units to convert the given speed into feet per minute.

1 mile = 5280 foot

1 h = 60 minutes

Therefore,

141 mi/h $=\frac{141(5280)}{60} =12408$ feet per minute.
