Why do isotope decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]2 years ago
7 0

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

A reaction has activation energy of 85kjper mol. What is the effect on the rate of raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 d
DENIUS [597]

Answer: The rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]

where k_2 = rate constant at temp T_2

k_1 = rate constant at temp T_1

E_a= activation energy

R= gas constant

T_1= temperature = 20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

T_2= temperature = 30^0C=(30+273)K=303K

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-85\times 1000J/mol}{8.314J/Kmol}[\frac{1}{303} - \frac{1}{293}]

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=1.15

\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=3

Thus rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​

What do chemists think is the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Molarity.

Explanation:

  • The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 liter of the solution.

M = (mass / molar mass) of the solute (1000 / volume of the solution).

<em>So, the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in one liter of a liquid solution is Molarity.</em>

As a student , what can you do to help in preventing pollution in your community ?​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: as a student , i will  do to help in preventing pollution in my  community :

Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.

Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.

Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.

Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

Using non-toxic or less toxic chemicals as cleaners, degreasers and other maintenance chemicals. Implementing water and energy conservation practices. Reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste.

Store your household chemicals (including cleaning products, paints, fuel canisters, etc.) as far away as possible from the living space and, if possible, in metal cabinets. Do not store chemicals in areas where you spend most of the time. Also, do not store chemicals in open cabinets or shelves.

Use Public Transportation. Use your vehicle a lot less often. .

Drive Smart. .

Do Regular Car Check-Up. .

Keep Car Tires Properly Inflated. .

Buy Energy-Efficient Vehicles. .

Consider “going green” .

Plant a Garden. .

Use Low-VOC or Water-based Paints.

Avoid smoking indoors (but quitting smoking is the best answer for overall health).

Use craft supplies in well-ventilated areas.

Make sure your gas stove is well-ventilated.

Minimize clutter.

Remove carpeting if possible.

Use a dehumidifier and/or air conditioner to reduce moisture.

How can students help reduce pollution?

Help Recycling

The most obvious things to reuse are plastic, glass, metal, and paper or fabric (paper and organic fabric are made of the same component, cellulose, and are recycled in a similar way). The color-coded trash bins show where each of these components can be put to be recycled in a proper way.
