Explain why so much tornado activity occurs in the spring season in the great plains region of the united states.

1 answer:

3 0

Tornadoes are more common in the united states than in the other countries. united states received a total of 1,200 tornadoes annually, four times the amount seen in europe. most tornadoes in the united states occur east of the rocky mountains. the great plains, the midwest, the mississippi valley and the southern united states, are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes.

What is one of the earliest ways that ancient peoples produced light?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Candles

Explanation:

The answer is the first option or "candles." In ancient times the people would lit candles and place them in difference places in their homes, temples, etc... to produce light. It's not option B because light emitting diodes are used to light up toys and such which weren't invented in ancient times. It's not option C because fluorescent bulbs are long light bulbs used to light up huge spaces without as many light bulbs which were again not invented at the time, and it's also not option D because incandescent bulbs are you usual light bulbs which weren't invented at the time.

Hope this helps.

Radon-222 ( 222/86 Rn) is a radioactive gas with a half-life of 3.82 days. A gas sample contains 4.1 e 8 radon atoms initially.

kow [346]

Answer :

(a) The number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days is, $4.67\times 10^7$

(b) The number of radon nuclei have decayed by this time will be, $3.6\times 10^8$

Explanation :

Half-life = 3.82 days

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{3.82\text{ days}}$

$k=1.81\times 10^{-1}\text{ days}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.81\times 10^{-1}\text{ days}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = 12 days

a = initially number of radon atoms = $4.1\times 10^8$

a - x = number of radon atoms left = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$12=\frac{2.303}{1.81\times 10^{-1}}\log\frac{4.1\times 10^8}{a-x}$

$a-x=4.67\times 10^7$

Thus, the number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days is, $4.67\times 10^7$

Now we have to calculate the number of radon nuclei will have decayed by this time.

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = Initial number of radon atoms - Number of radon atoms left

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = $(4.1\times 10^8)-(4.67\times 10^7)$

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = $3.6\times 10^8$

Thus, the number of radon nuclei have decayed by this time will be, $3.6\times 10^8$

Based on its type of chemical bond, which of the following has the highest boiling point?

Sever21 [200]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Potassium chloride

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Potassium Chloride is an ionic compound and has ionic bond which is stronger than covalent bond in ethyl alcohol,water ,ammonia, and thus has the highest boiling point .
ionic bond is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metallic atoms and non-metallic atoms.
