Answer: The correct answer is alpha particle.

Explanation:

There are 3 radioactive particles which are released in radioactive decay process:

1. Alpha particle: This particle is released when a nuclei undergoes alpha decay. The particle released has a mass of 4 units and has a charge of 2 units. The particle is positively charged.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}+_2^4\alpha

2. Beta-particle: This particle is released when a nuclei undergoes beta decay process. The particle released has a mass of 0 units and has a charge of (-1) units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

3. Gamma radiations: These radiations are released when an unstable nuclei undergoes gamma ray emission and gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. The radiations does not carry any charge and has no mass.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Hence, the radioactive particle that is charged charged and has two protons and two neutrons is the alpha particle.

You notice that the water in your friend's swimming pool is cloudy and that the pool walls are discolored at the water line. A q
Flauer [41]

Answer:

6,78 mL of 12,0 wt% H₂SO₄

Explanation:

The equilibrium in water is:

H₂O (l) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

The initial concentration of [H⁺] is 10⁻⁸ M and final desired concentration is [H⁺] = 10^{-7,20}, thus,

Thus, you need to add:

[H⁺] = 10^{-7,2} -10^{-8,0} = 5,31x10⁻⁸ M

The total volume of the pool is:

9,00 m × 15,0 m ×2,50 m = 337,5 m³ ≡ 337500 L

Thus, moles of H⁺ you need to add are:

5,31x10⁻⁸ M × 337500 L = 1,792x10⁻² moles of H⁺

These moles comes from

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ +SO₄²⁻

Thus:

1,792x10⁻² moles of H⁺ × \frac{1H_{2}SO_4 mol}{2H^{+} mol} = 8,96x10⁻³ moles of H₂SO₄

These moles comes from:

8,96x10⁻³ moles of H₂SO₄ × \frac{98,1 g}{1 mol} × \frac{100 gSolution}{12 gH_{2}SO_4 } × \frac{1 mL}{1,080 g}  =

6,78 mL of 12,0wt% H₂SO₄

I hope it helps!

2. Explain Why would it be difficult to find the volume of a rock using<br> a ruler?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Most of these rocks are not made up of common geometric shapes

Explanation:

Because most rocks are not made up of common geometric shapes, it would be difficult or impossible to find the volume of a rock using a ruler; there would be no easy way to measure the rock's volume using a ruler

Hope this helped!

Where does radioactivity come from?
Aleks04 [339]

Radioactivity comes from unstable atoms of certain elements. Radioactivity consists of alpha radiation (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation (1 electron), or gamma radiation (Electromagnetic photons).

The correct mathematical expression for finding the molar solubility (s) of calcium phosphate is
GalinKa [24]

Answer is: The molar solubility of calcium phosphate is 108s⁵ = Ksp.

<span> Balanced chemical reaction: Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂(s) → 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq).<span>
[Ca²</span>⁺] = 3s(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) = 3s.<span>
[PO</span>₄³⁻] = 2s.<span>
Ksp = [Ca²</span>⁺]³ · [PO₄³⁻]².<span>
Ksp = (3s)³ · (2s)².
Ksp = 108s</span>⁵.

A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te
Grace [21]

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is  = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) +  (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal  = 447 J/°C
