To make the conversion we must take into account the relationship between kBq and microcuries. Both are units that represent radioactivity activity. The relationship is:
1 kilobecquerel (kBq) = 0.027027027 microcurie
Therefore, 2.6kBq will be equal to:
Answer= That activity in microcuries will be 0.070 microcuries
Answer:
8.98*10^23 molecules CO2
Explanation:
The molar mass of CO2 is 44.0 grams/mol. If we convert 65.8 grams of CO2 into moles, 65.8g CO2 / 44.0g CO2 then we get about 1.49 moles of CO2. We know there are 6.02*10^23 molecules in a mole, so we would just multiply 1.49 mol CO2 * 6.02*10^23 = 8.98*10^23
Answer:
Coal (27%)
Natural Gas (24%)
Hydro (renewables) (7%)
Nuclear (4%)
Oil (34%)
Others (renewables) (4%)
Explanation:
World energy consumption is the total energy produced and used by the entire human civilization. Typically measured per year, it involves all energy harnessed from every energy source applied towards humanity's endeavors across every single industrial and technological sector, across every country. It does not include energy from food, and the extent to which direct biomass burning has been accounted for is poorly documented. Being the power source metric of civilization, world energy consumption has deep implications for humanity's socio-economic-political sphere.
Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), and the European Environment Agency (EEA) record and publish energy data periodically. Improved data and understanding of world energy consumption may reveal systemic trends and patterns, which could help frame current energy issues and encourage movement towards collectively useful solutions.
Closely related to energy consumption is the concept of total primary energy supply (TPES), which – on a global level – is the sum of energy production minus storage changes. Since changes of energy storage over the year are minor, TPES values can be used as an estimator for energy consumption. However, TPES ignores conversion efficiency, overstating forms of energy with poor conversion efficiency (e.g. coal, gas and nuclear) and understating forms already accounted for in converted forms (e.g. photovoltaics or hydroelectricity). The IEA estimates that, in 2013, total primary energy supply (TPES) was 157.5 petawatt hours or 1.575×1017 Wh (157.5 thousand TWh; 5.67×1020 J; 13.54 billion toe) or about 18 TW-year.
Answer:
- <em>1. The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.</em>
<em />
- <em>3. Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.</em>
<em />
- <em>4. The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space.</em>
<em />
- <em>6. The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.</em>
Explanation:
When J.J Thmpson discovered the electron, he depicted the atom by the plum pudding model: a solid dough of homogeneously distributed positive charge (the pudding) containing negatively charged electrons (the plums).
Later, the scientist <em>Ernest Rutherford</em>, with its experiment of the gold foil experiment showed that the subatomic particles where not all concentrated in a solid part.
When a thin gold foil was bombarded with alpha particles (positively charged nuclei of helium atoms), most of the particles went through the gold sheet, with little deviation, but some particles bounded with a high deviation.
Such few high deviations were explained by the fact that there was a heavy region in the atom (the core or nucleus) with the positive charge that repelled the positively charged alpha particles.
Thus, <em>the mass of the atom was conentrated at the nucleus</em> (choice 1), where the positive charge is distributed in one location, which is the nucleus (not over the entire atom, just on the nucleus) discarding the choice number 2 (that a positive charge is spread equally over the atom) and proving choices 3 (<em>the positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom</em>) and 6 (<em>the atom contains a positively charged nucleus</em>).
Since most of the particles indeed went through the nucleus, this nucleus has to occupy little space, and most of the atom was empty space, proving choice 4 (<em>the majority of the space inside the atom is empty space</em>).
