Flura [38]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Np²³⁷ → He⁴ + Am²³³

The given nuclear equation is balanced. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and Am²³³.

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 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than 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.

₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy

If the reaction 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2 is endothermic, which bonds are the strongest?

Alika [10]

Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic

Now

HgO is Omitted from our solution option.

Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.

O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .

Ar (g) is placed in a 3.80 L container at 320 K. The gas pressure is 0.496 atm.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

PV=nRt

Therefore n(number of moles)=PV/RT

=>(0.49×3.80)/(0.08206×320)

Therefore Number of moles is = 0.071mols

Explanation: By using the Real gas equation..

PV=NRT .

We can solve for the number of moles of Ar by making N the subject..

Always make sure you pressure is In atm, your Volume is in Litres and temperature in degree Kelvin.

Also Recall the universal gas constant R used in this type of questions which is 0.08206.

Hence l, by making N the subject we get our answer as

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{109.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Data:

50/50 ethylene glycol (EG):water

V = 4.70 gal

ρ(EG) = 1.11 g/mL

ρ(water) = 0.988 g/mL

Calculations:

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b$

i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from 1 mol of solute. For EG, i = 1.

1. Moles of EG

$\rm n = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 mL}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1.11 g}}{\text{1 mL}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{62.07 g}} = \text{159 mol}$

2. Kilograms of water

$m = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{998 g}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{8.88 kg}$

3. Molal concentration of EG

$b = \dfrac{\text{159 mol}}{\text{8.88 kg}} = \text{17.9 mol/kg}$

4. Increase in boiling point

$\rm \Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b = 1 \times 0.512 \, \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1} \, \times 17.9 \cdot mol \cdot kg^{-1} = 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}$

5. Boiling point

$\rm T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100.00 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} = \mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}\\\rm \text{The boiling point of the solution is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}}$}$
