A gaseous decay product of uranium that is found in rocks is called

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:Radon.

Explanation: The main source of Radon is the Gaseous decay of Uranium found in the rocks into Radium, Radium also undergoes direct radioactive decay into RADON it is usually found in the rocks.

Radon is a radioactive noble gas that is colourless,odourless and tasteless, it has an atomic number of 86. Inhaling Radon is very toxic and poisonous to the health of man as it leads to different forms of breathing issues, it lead to thightening of the chest, difficulty swallowing etc.

A corrosion cell consisting of Zinc and Nickel is formed. Which of the following statement is true? (A) Nickel will act as Anode
Yanka [14]

Answer: B) Zinc will act as Anode

Explanation:

Standard reduction potential of zinc and nickel are:

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}= -0.76V

E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.25V

Here Zinc undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode as it has more negative reduction potential.

Nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode. as it has less negative reduction potential.

Zn+Ni^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Ni

E^0_{cell}=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

E^0=E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}

E^0=0.25-(-0.76V)=0.51V

As the emf is positive, the reaction is spontaneous and reaction will occur.

Thus Zinc will act as anode.

What is one way that an electric field is different from a magnetic field?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer with Explanation:

Electric field:It is the force per unit charge experienced by rest charge at any given point.

It is the area around the charge which is placed at rest.It is represented by E.

Mathematical formula:

E=\frac{F}{q}

Magnetic field:It is an area around moving charge in which moving charge particle experienced  magnetic force in that area.

Magnetic field is represented by B.

Mathematical formula :

F=qvBsin\theta

Where B=Magnetic field

q=Charge on particle

v=Velocity of particle

F=Magnetic force exert on particle

Three resistors, 6.0-W, 9.0-W, 15-W, are connected in parallel in a circuit. What is the equivalent resistance of this combinati
ycow [4]

Answer:

2.9Ω

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they are arranged side by side such that their corresponding ends are joined together at two common junctions. The combined resistance in such arrangement of resistors is given by;

1/Req= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 .........+ 1/Rn

Where;

Req refers to the equivalent resistance and R1, R2, R3 .......Rn refers to resistance of individual resistors connected in parallel.

Note that;

R1= 6.0Ω

R2 = 9.0Ω

R3= 15.0 Ω

Therefore;

1/Req = 1/6 + 1/9 + 1/15

1/Req= 0.167 + 0.11 + 0.067

1/Req= 0.344

Req= (0.344)^-1

Req= 2.9Ω
