Answer:

37S

Explanation:

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.

We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.

In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.

23892U = 23490Th + 42He

Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.

147N + 42He = 178O + 11P

For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is

4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He

So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.

If atmospheric pressure suddenly changes from 1.00 atm to 0.892 atm at 298 k, how much oxygen will be released from 4.40 l of wa
garri49 [273]
Henry's law constant for oxygen is 0,0013 mol/L·<span>atm. Air has 21,0% oxygen.
concentration of oxygen at 1 atm: 0,0013 mol/L</span>·atm · 0,21 · 1 atm = 0,000273 mol/l.
concentration of oxygen at 1 atm: 0,0013 mol/L·atm · 0,21 · 0,892 atm = 0,000243 mol/l.
difference in concentration: 0,000273 - 0,000243 = 0,00003 mol/L.
n(oxygen) = 0,00003 mol/L · 4,40 L = 0,000132 mol.

Why is it important for a measurement system to have an international standard ?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Mark me brainliest

Explanation:

Standards help avoid confusion and ambiguity when taking measurements. For example, a meter will always be the same length, no matter who is taking the measurement or where it is being taken.
