Answer:

Because a phenomenon called Bose-Einstein condensation can occur.

Explanation:

Bose-Einstein condensation is a phenomenon that can occur when a scientist works with temperatures close to absolute zero. In this situation, the material being analyzed is compacting, condensing, in a way that could become a large, single atom. When this happens, it is impossible to collect accurate temperature and volume data. This phenomenon occurs in the processes of temperature decay and physical state changes, in which the gas becomes liquid, the liquid becomes solid, and, in this way, the solid would tend to have its particles more and more united.

Enter a balanced nuclear equation for the production of lead-212, used in the treatment of some cancers, from the beta decay of

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$\frac{212}{81}Tl ------>\beta + \frac{212}{82}Pb$

Explanation:

Beta emission involves the conversion of a neutron to a proton, an electron and a neutrino. This leads to a reduction in the neutron-proton ratio.

During a beta emission, the mass number of the parent and daughter nuclei remain the same. The atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit above that of the parent nucleus as we can see from the equation.

Hence, the daughter nucleus is found one place after its parent in the periodic table.

Be sure to answer all parts. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction below is 4.40 at 2000. K. H2(g) + CO2(g) ⇌ H2O(g) +

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

For 1: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(g)+CO(g)$

For 1:

To calculate the $\Delta G$ for given value of equilibrium constant, we use the relation:

$\Delta G=-RT\ln K_p$ .....(1)

where,

$\Delta G$ = ? kJ/mol

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 4.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (4.40)\\\\\Delta G=-24636.12J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -24636.12 J/mol = -24.636 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2:

The expression of $K_p$ for the given chemical equation is:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CO}p_{H_2O}}{p_{H_2}p_{CO_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=1.18atm\\p_{H_2O}=0.66atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.82atm\\p_{H_2}=0.27atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{1.18\times 0.66}{0.27\times 0.82}\\\\K_p=3.52$

Now, calculating the value of $\Delta G$ by using equation 1:

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.52

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (3.52)\\\\\Delta G=-20925.68J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -20925.68 J/mol = -20.925 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Which technology is used to deal with waste management?

Alisiya [41]

D) recycling ;)

Waste Management's Aerobic-Anaerobic Bioreactor* is designed to accelerate waste degradation by combining attributes of the aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors. The objective of the sequential aerobic-anaerobic treatment is to cause the rapid biodegradation of food and other easily degradable waste in the aerobic stage in order to reduce the production of organic acids in the anaerobic stage resulting in the earlier onset of methanogenesis. In this system the uppermost lift or layer of waste is aerated, while the lift immediately below it receives liquids. Landfill gas is extracted from each lift below the lift receiving liquids. Horizontal wells that are installed in each lift during landfill construction are used convey the air, liquids, and landfill gas. The principle advantage of the hybrid approach is that it combines the operational simplicity of the anaerobic process with the treatment efficiency of the aerobic process. Added benefits include an expanded potential for destruction of volatile organic compounds in the waste mass. (*US Patent 6,283,676 B1)

A sample of an uranium compound is found to be losing mass gradually. Explain what is happening to the sample.

yan [13]

Answer:

The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive

Explanation:

Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.

Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.

Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
