balandron [24]
I'd say that his comb has a static electricity charge. It can either be negative, or positive. Let's just say it's positive, and the water is negatively charged. This means that it will affect the water flow when the two charges meet. I hope this helps! ~Mia

Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public. true or false?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

  • <u>TRUE:</u> <em>Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public</em>

Explanation:

In chemistry there are many <em>concentration measurements</em> used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.

Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.

The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.

The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).

For solutions, mass percent concentration is:

  • % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.

And voluem percen contration is:

  • % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100

Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.

For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.

A radioisotope decays to give an alpha particle andPb-208.
oee [108]

<u>Answer:</u> The original element is _{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units.

The released alpha particle is also known as helium nucleus.

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

For the given alpha decay process of an isotope:

^{Z}_{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{208}_{82}\textrm{Pb}+_2^4\alpha

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

A = 208 + 4

A = 212

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

Z = 82 + 2

Z = 84

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}

Hence, the original element is _{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}

Examine the nuclear reaction: mc007-1.jpg. Why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? It is n
balu736 [363]
It is a nuclear reaction since a change has occurred in the nucleus. In nuclear reactions the particles in the nucleus are changed and one element is transformed into another element when particles in the nucleus gained are lost. Unlike chemical reactions which involve the electrons in an atom, nuclear reaction involve the nucleus. A nuclear reaction may be a nuclear fission or nuclear fusion; An example of nuclear reaction is where two isotopes of hydrogen (tritium and deuterium) are fused together under high pressure and temperature, to form a more stable atom of helium. This is an example of nuclear fusion reaction.
