Explanation:

Natural transmutation is the spontaneous disintegration of a heavy nuclide into lighter ones or fusion of lighter nuclides into heavier ones. These processes occurs naturally without anything inducing them. Nuclear fission of light elements in the core of stars is an example of natural transmutation.

  • Typically, all nuclei with atomic number greater than 83 are naturally radioactive.

         ²³⁸₉₂U  →  ²³⁴₉₂Th  + ⁴₂He

In artificial transmutation,  nuclear reactions are initiated through the collision of a nuclide with a high speed particle. Here, unstable nuclei are produced artificially in nuclear reactions. Such unstable nuclei also produce radiations.

          ¹₀n  + ²³₁₁Na → ²⁴₁₁Na + γ

A 4.0 L balloon has a pressure of 406 kPa. When the pressure increases to 2,030 kPa, what is the volume? *
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The new volume when pressure increases to 2,030 kPa is 0.8L

BOYLE'S LAW:

The new volume of a gas can be calculated using Boyle's law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

  1. P1 = initial pressure (kPa)
  2. P2 = final pressure (kPa)
  3. V1 = initial volume (L)
  4. V2 = final volume (L)

According to this question, a 4.0 L balloon has a pressure of 406 kPa. When the pressure increases to 2,030 kPa, the volume is calculated as:

406 × 4 = 2030 × V2

1624 = 2030V2

V2 = 1624 ÷ 2030

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the new volume when pressure increases to 2,030 kPa is 0.8L.

mafiozo [28]

In Grignard reaction, Biphenyl and benzene are common side products which are removed during trituration.

In organic chemistry, a reaction in which the Grignard reagents or organometallic substances are added to organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones to form alcohol is known as Grignard reaction.

These Grignard reagents are magnesium halides of alkyl, vinyl or allyl, which react with a carbonyl group to form alcohols.

During this reaction, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are formed.

While Biphenyl and benzene are common side products.

These are removed during trituration process in which cold petroleum ether is added to dissolve the biphenyl and benzene side products
