Explain why the nucleus of an atom carries a positive charge

1 answer:

7 0

Neutrons have no charge. means the nucleus of an atom is always positively charged. An atom has a neutral overall charge because it has the same number of electrons as protons. Protons and neutrons have the same mass.

A particular radioactive nuclide has a half-life of 1000 years. What percentage of an initial population of this nuclide has dec

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.

Does anyone know how to do this? the solubility of barium carbonate, BaCO3, is 0.0100 g/L. Its molar mass is 197.3 g/mol. What i

It's simple, just follow my steps.

1º - in 1 L we have $0.0100~g$ of $BaCO_3$

2º - let's find the number of moles.

$\eta=\frac{m}{MM}$

$\eta=\frac{0.0100}{197.3}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\eta=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol}}$

3º - The concentration will be

$C=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L$

But we have this reaction

$BaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

This concentration will be the concentration of $Ba^{2+}~~and~~CO_3^{2-}$

$K_{sp}=\frac{[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]}{[BaCO_3]}$

considering $[BaCO_3]=1~mol/L$

$K_{sp}=[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

and

$[Ba^{2+}]=[CO_3^{2-}]=5.07\times10^{-5}~mol/L$

We can replace it

$K_{sp}=(5.07\times10^{-5})*(5.07\times10^{-5})$

$K_{sp}\approx25.70\times10^{-10}$

Therefore the $K_{sp}$ is:

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{K_{sp}\approx2.57\times10^{-11}}}}$

Do all materials respond to heat in the same way?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

No.

Materials like water get evaporated when heated, but materials like camphor get sublimed that is they directly get converted into gaseous form when heated, while materials like copper gets melted on heating
