Fluorine-18 is a positron emitter used in pet scans. write a balanced nuclear equation for the reaction.
kow [346]
<span>Due to limitations on typography, I will have to describe the equation instead of actually writing it. Crude appearance. 18 18 0 F --> O + e 9 8 1 Detailed description. Each of the 3 components have both a left superscript and a left subscript which is a superscript and a subscript to the LEFT of the main figure unlike the usual right side that you see subscripts and superscripts. The equation will be F with an 18 left superscript and a 9 left subscript to represent Florine with atomic weight of 18 and 9 protons. Followed by a right arrow to indicate the direction the reaction is going. Followed by the letter O with a left superscript of 18 and a left subscript of 8 to represent Oxygen with atomic weight of 18 and 8 protons. Followed by a plus sign to indicate more. Followed by either the lower case letter "e" or the upper case Greek character beta with a left superscript of 0 and a left subscript of 1 or +1 to represent the positron being emitted with a positive charge and an atomic weight of 0.</span>

Which of the following statements is true of combustion reactions?
enot [183]

Gasoline contains C and H atoms. During combustion, the carbon (C) from the fuel combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O.

Combustion reactions release large amounts of heat. They have negative enthalpy. A negative enthalpy represents an exothermic reaction, releasing heat. This reaction is spontaneous and exothermic, since we can obtain energy from the reaction; the ΔG (free energy) is negative (So 1 is true).

ΔG < 0, so the free energy of the system decreases with the reaction. Remember that when there is a negative ΔG the reaction goes from higher free energy to lower free energy, like in this case.

What is the percent error when a student measures the volume to be 19.3 liters when
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>13.84 %</h2>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual volume = 22.4 L

error = 22.4 - 19.3 = 3.1

The percentage error is

P(\%) =  \frac{3.1}{22.4}  \times 100 \\  = 13.839285714...

We have the final answer as

<h3>13.84 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

some infrared radiation reaches earth and sum does not with part does reach earth longer wave length or short wave length
Ede4ka [16]
The answer is long wave length because long wave lengths contians less energy, and would not harm living things such as plants and animals. the more engey a wave length has, the less harmful it is.

short wave length: lots of energy, extremely hot. (examples: gamma rays, and UV (ultraviolet) rays.

long wave lengths: not much energy, safe for humans and other life on Earth.

hopefully this helps.
