Answer:

27 amu

Explanation:

The alpha particles is Helium nuclei.

Atomic mass is the sum of the neutrons and protons.

Helium have two protons and two neutrons thus its atomic mass is 4 amu.

₂He⁴

Sodium atom have 12 neutrons and 11 protons. Thus its mass number will be

23 amu.

When it combine with alpha particle it mass will be 27 amu.

23 amu + 4 amu = 27 amu.

Thus new sodium atom have 14 neutrons and 13 protons.

So, a gas, and an
valina [46]

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

How does a change in frequency or amplitude change the sound we hear
suter [353]
<span>Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave (i.e. generally, the lowest frequency in a given sound wave). For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.However, technically, pitch (and volume) are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both (and even other factors). Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different <span>perceived </span>pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.That all being said, usually these effects are negligible, and pitch can be thought of as equivalent to fundamental frequency.
