Why are people against saving the ozone layer?

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Which of the following is the correct set up AND answer to convert 6.25 x

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

How many mols do you have?

1 mol = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

x mol = 6.25 * 10 ^32 atoms

1/x = 6.02*10^23 / 6.25 * 10^32 Cross multiply

6.02 * 10^23 * x = 1 * 6.25 * 10^32 Divide by 6.02 * 10^23

x = 6.25 * 10*32/ 6.02 ^10^23

x = 1.038 * 10^9 mols which is quite large.

Find the number of grams. (Use the value for copper on your periodic table. I will just use an approximate number.)\

1 mol of copper = 63 grams.

1.038 * 10^9 mols of copper = x

1/1.038 * 10^9 = 63/x Cross multiply

x = 1.038 * 10^9 * 63

x = 6.54 * 10^10 grams of copper.

Why sulphur has two melting point values

Fofino [41]

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.
