Answer:

Uranium 238  

Uranium 238  → thorium-234 + α particle (He²⁺ helium nucleus)

Explanation:

A uranium-238 nucleus, which is termed the parent nucleus, experiences radioactive decay with the emission of an alpha particle to form thorium-234, which is known as the daughter nuclide by the emission of an alpha particle which is made up of to neutrons and two protons.

When nucleus of a radioactive atom decays by emitting an alpha particle, which is equivalent to a helium nucleus, to transform into a different atomic nucleus with a lesser mass (less by four)  and a reduced atomic number (reduced by two), it is said to have undergone an alpha decay or α-decay.

(a) What is the ionization energy of a hydrogen atom that is in the n = 6 excited state? (b) For a hydrogen atom, determine the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

(a) 0.3778 eV

(b) Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

The Bohr's formula for the calculation of the energy of the electron in nth orbit is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{n^2}\ eV

(a) The energy of the electron in n= 6 excited state is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{6^2}\ eV

E=-0.3778\ eV

Ionisation energy is the amount of this energy required to remove the electron. Thus, |E| = 0.3778 eV

(b) For first orbit energy is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{1^2}\ eV

E=-13.6\ eV

Ratio=\frac {E_6}{E_1}

Ratio=\frac {-0.3778}{-13.6}

Ratio = 0.0278

Cual sera el caudal que lleva un rio cuando se desplaza a 200 litros cada 40 segundos
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Q = 5 L/s

Explanation:

To find the flow you use the following formula (para calcular el caudal usted utiliza la siguiente formula):

Q=\frac{V}{t}

V: Volume (volumen) = 200L

t: time (tiempo) = 40 s

you replace the values of the parameters to calculate Q (usted reemplaza los valores de los parámteros V y t para calcular el caudal):

Q=\frac{200L}{40s}=5\frac{L}{s}

Hence, the flow is 5 L/s (por lo tanto, el caudal es de 5L/s)
