The two elements that produce background radiation on earth are Radon and Uranium. Airborne radon can decay on its own. Radon undergoes alpha decay to produce Polonium. Uranium naturally undergoes alpha decay to produce Thorium.

Answer:

Radon and Uranium            

Explanation:

Two elements that produce background radiation are: Radon and Uranium. These elements are present in soil or air and naturally decay to form the elements as shown below:

Decay equation of Radon:

^{222} _{86}Rn \rightarrow ^{218} _{84}Po + ^4 _2 He

Decay Equation of Uranium:

^{234} _{92}U  \rightarrow ^{230} _{90}Th + ^4 _2 He

Suppose you have a sample of table salt (NaCl) that has a mass of 100.0 grams. If
IgorC [24]

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Molarity of NaCl</h3>

In this case, you have:

  • number of moles of NaCl= 100 grams\frac{1 mole}{58.45 grams} =1.71 moles (being 58.45 g/mole the molar mass of NaCl)
  • volume 2 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

Molarity=\frac{1.71 moles}{2 L}

Solving:

Molarity= 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}

Finally, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 \frac{moles}{liter}.

Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²

Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant, Kc, is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. Also, each concentration of product of reactant is powered to its coefficient.

<em>Pure solids and liquids are not taken into account in an equilibrium</em>

Thus, for the reaction:

C(s)+ 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g)

Equilibrium constant is:

<h3>Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²</h3>

Now, using the formula:

Kp = Kc* (RT)^Δn

<em>Where R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is the temperature of the reaction and Δn is difference in coefficients of gas products - coefficients of gas reactants (1 - 2= -1)</em>

Replacing:

<h3>Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1</h3>
