Answer:

Yes , it is possible  for two different atoms of carbon to have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei .

Explanation:

Isotopes -

Atoms of the element with same number of the electrons and protons , but differ in the number of neutrons , are called as the isotopes .

The isotopes of the element have the same number of protons and electrons , hence have the same chemical and physical properties .

Many isotopes occurs naturally .

In case of Carbon ,  

Carbon too have isotopes ,  

i.e.  

Carbon - 13 and Carbon - 14

carbon - 13 , have seven neutrons  

Carbon - 14 , have eight neutrons .

The steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks are listed below in an incorrect order.
Arlecino [84]
The first step in the formation of sedimentary rock is weathering of preexisting rocks. The second step is transport of the weathering products. The third step is deposition of the material. And at the end there is compaction and cementation of the sediment to form a rock.
According to this, the following shows the correct order of steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks:
C. <span>1, 4, 3, 2
</span>Rocks are weathered.Small pieces of rocks are carried by water.They are deposited in layers.<span>The sediments are compacted together.</span>

If the evaporator outlet temperature on an r410A system is 50f and the evaporator superheat is 10f, what is the evaporating pres
Olenka [21]

Answer:

So, the evaporating pressure of the R410A = 118 psig

Explanation:

Solution:

For R410A system:

Data Given:

Evaporator Outlet Temperature = 50°F

Evaporator Superheat = 10°F

Required:

Evaporating Pressure in the system = ?

For this, first of all, we need to calculate inlet temperature on R410A system from the given value of outlet temperature.

Evaporator inlet temperature is the difference of outlet temperature and evaporator superheat.

Evaporator inlet temperature = Outlet Temperature - Evaporator Superheat

Evaporator inlet Temperature = 50°F - 10°F

Evaporator inlet Temperature = 40°F

Now, as we have the inlet temperature and the R410A system. We can consult the pressure temperature chart or PT chart, which I have attached and highlighted the value of evaporating pressure for 40°F inlet temperature.

So, the evaporating pressure of the R410A = 118 psig

Use the following information to answer the next question.
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

1.Emitted primarily through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste, and trees and wood products. Changes in land use also play a role. Deforestation and soil degradation add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, while forest regrowth takes it out of the atmosphere.

2.Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

3.Untreated, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition that occurs when your core body temperature reaches 104 F (40 C) or higher. Heatstroke requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage to your brain and other vital organs that can result in death.

4.The loss of solar energy in passing through the atmospheric layers is called the atmospheric deflection. ... The longer the path traversed, the greater the amount of radiant energy depleted. Various processes whereby heat energy is lost through the atmosphere are known as scattering, diffusion, absorption, and reflection.

5.Geothermal energy is renewable because the Earth has retained a huge amount of the heat energy that was generated during formation of the planet. In addition, heat is continuously produced by decay of radioactive elements within the Earth. The amount of heat within the Earth, and the amount that is lost though natural processes (e.g. volcanic activity, conduction/radiation to the atmosphere), are much, much more than the amount of heat lost through geothermal energy production. At any one geothermal field, however, the temperature of the geothermal reservoir or the fluid levels/fluid pressure in the reservoir may decrease over time as fluids are produced and energy is extracted. Produced fluids can be re-injected to maintain pressures, although this may further cool down the reservoir if care is not taken. Over time, it is commonly necessary to drill additional wells in order to maintain energy production as temperatures and/or reservoir fluid pressures decline.

6.Floods, Floodplains, and Flood-Prone Areas. ... Flooding is a result of heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding the absorptive capacity of soil and the flow capacity of rivers, streams, and coastal areas. This causes a watercourse to overflow its banks onto adjacent lands.
