Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce

kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

P = 3 atm

= $3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa$

$V_{1}$ = 9 L = $9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$ (as 1 L = 0.001 $m^{3}$ ),

$V_{2}$ = 15 L = $15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$

Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

W = $P \times \Delta V$

or, W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})$

= 1823.85 Nm

or, = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas $\Delta E$ is as follows.

$\Delta E$ = Q - W

= 800 J - 1823.85 J

= -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.

Cracking the periodic table code why aren't the elements listed in alphabetical order answer key

finlep [7]

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.

For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.

You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.

You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.

So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.

Construct a three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins. Note that

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene is as follows.

Step -1: Formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkanes.

Step -2: Formation terminal alkyne to nonterminal alkynes.

Step -3: Formation of trans-pent - 2-pent-ene by reduction.

Explanation:

Synthesis of trans-pent-2-yne from ethyne takes place is mainly a three step synthesis which involves formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkane. Second step involves the further alkylation of terminal alkynes to higher order nonterminal alkynes and the third step involves the formation of trans-2-ene by dissolving reduction method.

The chemical reaction of each step of chemical reactions is as follows.
