Uranium emits particles and rays spontaneously through this process called radioactive decay or radioactivity.

Is the process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles. gamma rays and conversion electrons.

According to the electron sea theory, what happens when a collection of metal atoms are in close proximity to each other?
lys-0071 [83]
The correct answer is A. All electrons become free and separate from the nuclei. In metallic bonds, the electrons of the metal atoms are delocalized. The electron in the electron sea can freely roam around or are free to flow.

How much heat is lost when 0.440 mol of steam condenses at 100 °C?
dusya [7]

Answer:

17,890 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat released by a gaseous substance when it condenses is given by the formula

Q=n\lambda_v

where

n is the number of moles of the substance

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

The formula can be applied if the substance is at its vaporization temperature.

In this problem, we have:

n = 0.440 mol is the number of moles of steam

\lambda_v=40,660 J/mol is the latent heat of vaporization of water

And the steam is already at 100C, so we can apply the formula:

Q=(0.440)(40660)=17,890 J

Balance the reaction for the combustion of pentane: ?C5H12+?O2→?CO2+?H2O Enter the four coefficients in order, separated by comm
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂  +  ?O₂→  ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the  right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂  + 16O₂→  10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂  + 8O₂→  5CO₂ + 6H₂O
