Chemical reactions might be fast -- burning gasoline, or slow -- rusting. Usually the require two or more reactants. Most of these, along with requiring more than 1 substance, also requires something to get it started ... burning needs a spark to start it.
Nuclear decay only requires 1 thing, the radioactive element. Wait and it spontaneously undergoes decay.

Tonga Trench is convergent.

  • In the western Pacific Ocean, there is a trench known as the Tonga Trench. It is the second-deepest trench on Earth after the Mariana Trench and the deepest in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The Tonga Trench was created millions of years ago by a process known as subduction, in which two tectonic plates collide and push one under the other.
  • The Tonga Trench is 850 miles long and typically reaches depths of 20,000 feet.
  • From the southwest corner of the Kermadec Plate to the northwest point of the Tonga Plate, there is a convergent plate boundary known as the Kermadec-Tonga subduction zone.
  • The Tonga Trench's Horizon Deep, located at 23.25833°S 174.726667°W, is its deepest point.
  • There are numerous volcanoes in the Tonga Trench, both active and dormant, and it is prone to earthquakes and tsunamis.

A liter of the gas mixture at equilibrium contains 0.0045 mol of N2O4 and 0.030 mol of NO2 at 10C. Write the expression for the
Alona [7]

Answer:

Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄] = 0.2.

Explanation:

  • For the gas mixture equilibrium:

<em>N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂</em>

The expression of the equilibrium constant (Keq):

Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

<em>∴ Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]</em> = (0.03)²/(0.0045) = <em>0.2.</em>

Which of the following salts is the least soluble in water?
Anettt [7]
A. Strontium Phosphate 

Solubility product constant is an equilibrium constant for the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve to form an aqueous solution. The value of the constant describes a solution which is saturated. 

The greater the solubility product constant, the more soluble a solute is in the liquid. Consequently, the smaller the constant, the less soluble the solute is. The following list shows the solubility product constants of the given compounds in aqueous solutions at 298K in decreasing order:

Thallium Bromide - 3.71×10–6
Copper Iodide - 1.27×10<span>–12
</span>Silver Bromide - 5.35×10–13
Silver Arsenate - 1.03×10–22
Mercury Bromide - 6.40×10–23
Strontium Phosphate - 1×10–31
<span>
The salt with the smallest solubility product constant is strontium phosphate, and therefore is the one which is least soluble in water.
