What is the beta decay of uranium-237

1 answer:

3 0

During a phenomenon called beta decay the neutron of the isotope uranium 237 emits/releases an electron causing an increase of atomic number. With the reference of a periodic table the "new" element is Neptunium or Np-237.

12. An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s

How do i balance the first chemical reaction above?? plz plz help

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

Left

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Left

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.

What are the major sources of crude oil

timurjin [86]

Explanation:

Crude oil is a naturally occurring fossil fuel - meaning it comes from the remains of dead organisms.

Crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons - hydrogen and carbon atoms.

It exists in liquid form in underground reservoirs in the tiny spaces within sedimentary rocks. Or it can be found near the surface in oil sands.

It is often found alongside natural gas and saline water.

Crude oil is often interchangeably referred to as petroleum. This is because petroleum includes both the unrefined crude oil as well as refined petroleum products.

It is non-renewable - once it’s gone it’s gone and cannot be easily replaced.

Which separation techniques will you apply for the separation of the following? a) oil from water b) kerosene and petrol c) salt

REY [17]

Answer:

A) Separating funnel method

B) Simple Distillation

C) Evaporation

D) Sublimation

E) It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.

Explanation:

B) Kerosene and petrol are both miscible liquids and the difference in their boiling point temperature is not more than 25°C. Thus, we make use of Simple distillation.

C) Can be separated by evaporation where the water is boiled and it evaporates and leaves the salt behind

D) To separate camphor from salt, we use sublimation so the camphor can change directly from solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.

E) Chromatography is used to separate components of a mixture.

It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.
