Many radioactive atoms that have large masses undergo radioactive decay by releasing a particle that is identical to a helium -4

nucleus. What charges in the original atom are expected as a result of this phenomenon

Many heavy radioactive atoms release alpha particles which are identical to helium-4 atoms. It is expected that emission of alpha particle will decrease the number of electrons and the original atom obtains positive charge. However, emission of one alpha particle decreases the atomic number of the original atom by 2 and the mass number decreases by 4. This is because atomic number of helium atom is 2 and the mass number is 4. As a result a new atom is formed. This is the product of the radioactive reaction.

Pressure drop in packed column ..... a tray column
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The answer is b)

Explanation:

In packed column the mass transfer area is higher and the packing can be random, that could provoque an increase in the pressure, because obstruction of the mass flux, While in a tray column the sieves can have specific porosity and the flux of mass can be facilitated, thus the pressure drop.

What is a naturally occurring, solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter?
Firdavs [7]

Rock is a combination of two or more minerals, and it does not possess any specific chemical composition. It is present naturally in the environment. Some examples of rocks are limestone, granite, etc.,Limestone may contain minerals like calcite and aragonite. Each mineral has a specific chemical composition with a well defined crystalline structure.

Therefore, the correct option would be a. rock as rock is the naturally occurring  solid mass made up of different types of minerals.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the effect of each of the following on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas? (a) The pressur
aksik [14]

Answer

A)The volume decreases by a factor of 4

B), the volume has increased by factor of 2

Explanation:

A)Given:

P1= 760Kpa

P2 =202Kpa

The temperature changes from37C to155C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 760torr.

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T1= 37+273= 310K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT where nR is constant

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)*(310/155)

V1/V2=4

V2= V1/4

Therefore, the volume has decreased by factor of 4

B)

Given:

P1= 2atm

P2 =101Kpa

The temperature changes from 305K to 32C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 2atm

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

P1= 202.65kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T2= 32+273= 305K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)

V1/V2 = (101/202.65)*(305/305)

V1/V2 = 1/2

V2=2V1

Therefore, the volume has increased by factor of 2
