aev [14]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The word atom is coined from ancient greek word atomos and it means uncuttable.

Democritus coined the word and he believed that an atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any matter.

He suggested that all matter is made up of atom and atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces.

This is not accurate today because we know that atoms contains very small particle of proton, neutrons and electrons.

Atoms are divisible and can be changed another by nuclear reaction.

A certain first-order reaction (a→products) has a rate constant of 9.60×10−3 s−1 at 45 ∘c. how many minutes does it take for the
Alexxandr [17]

The integrated rate law expression for a first order reaction is

ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt

where

[A0]=100

[At]=6.25

[6.25% of 100 = 6.25]

k = 9.60X10⁻³s⁻¹

Putting values

ln\frac{100}{6.25}=9.6X10^{-3}t

taking log of 100/6.25

100/6.25 = 16

ln(16) = 2.7726

Time = 2.7726 / 0.0096 = 288.81  seconds

How do you see the use of nuclear energy? formulate a concise and clear opinion.
solong [7]

Explanation:

Nuclear energy and technology are used within food and agriculture to make processes safer and more effective. For example, nuclear-related technologies are used in sterilizing agricultural pests to reduce the use of pesticides. This makes it impossible for the bugs to reproduce, gradually eliminating them.

An emission ray has a frequency of 5.10 × 1014 hz. given that the speed of light is 2.998 × 108 m/s, what is the wavelength of t
madreJ [45]
Speed = frequency x wavelength
So rearrange the formula: wavelength= speed/ frequency
 wavelength = (2.998 x 108) ÷ (5.10 x 1014)
