Answer:

₈₄Po²¹¹ → ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Explanation:

Polonium-211 is unstable nuclei. It undergoes alpha decay and produce Pb-207 and alpha particle.

Nuclear equation:

₈₄Po²¹¹ → ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

We make a basic solution by mixing 50. mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 50. mL of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2. It requires 250 mL of an HCl solution to

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 5.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the NaOH.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.10M\\V_1=50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1\\V_2=50mL$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(1\times 0.1\times 50)+(2\times 0.1\times 50)}{50+50}\\\\M=0.15M$

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15M\\V_2=100mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.15\times 100\\\\M_1=0.06M$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 5.

STALIN [3.7K]

Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave. For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.

However, technically, pitch and volume are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both. Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different perceived pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

D. two-stroke cylinder engine.

Explanation:

Two-stroke cylinder engine: In chemistry, the term "two-stroke cylinder engine" is described as one of the types of "internal combustion engine" that tends to complete a single "power cycle" possessing two different strokes of the "piston" during a particular "crankshaft revolution".

It generally consists of two different strokes that are being often known as power or exhaust and suction stroke.

In the question above, the given statement signifies the "two-stroke cylinder engine".
