Answer:

Alpha particles, Beta particles and Gamma rays

Explanation:

The emission of particles when a radioactive atom decays is called radioactivity.

An atom is radioactive as a result of unstable nucleus. This unstable nucleus of the atom disinintegrates and leads to emission of Alpha particles, Beta particles and gamma rays.

Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons. They are positively charged

Beta particles are negatively charged

Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with short wavelength

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Reverse the $2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$ reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

$2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Overall:

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have $N_2O_4$ in the reactants like in the second reaction and $NO_2$ in the products. The $NO_2$ is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:

$2 NO + O_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Combining:

$N_2O_4 + 2 NO + O_2\longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2 + 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

Would the N=O bond in HNO2 be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N-O bonds in NO2-?

aivan3 [116]

Explanation:

Bond order is inversely proportional to the bond length.

$B.O\propto \frac{1}{B.L}$

In $HNO_2$ molecule. one nitrogen is double bonded to nitrogen and one oxygen is single bonded to nitrogen and hydrogen bond.

Bond order between the (N=O) bond is 2 which means that bond length between the (N=O) bond is shorter than that of the N-O bond.
Bond order between the (N-O) bond is 1 which means that bond length of the N-O bond is longer than that of the bond length of (N=O) bond.

gogolik [260]

The concentration after dilution is 1.4%.

We are aware that concentration and volume are related to each other by the formula -

$C_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = $C_{2}$ $V_{2}$ , where we have initial concentration and volume on Left Hand Side and final concentration and volume on Right Hand Side.
