Carbon atoms make up organic compounds.
Organic compounds are molecules that contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds). Many organic compounds are formed from chains of covalently-linked carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to the chain (a hydrocarbon backbone).

Polonium-218 undergoes beta decay, converting a neutron into a proton. Then the daughter isotope undergoes another beta decay, a
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: ^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e is the correct equation for beta decay.

Explanation:

When a beta particle, that is, ^{0}_{-1}e is emitted in a radioactive decay then it is known as beta decay.

Therefore, beta decay of Polonium-218 is as follows.

^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e

Therefore, we can conclude that ^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e is the correct equation for the given beta decay.

What happens when the concentration of water inside a cell is lower than the concentration of water outside the cell?
adell [148]

Answer:

Water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium

Explanation:

In the hypotonic environment, the concentration of water is greater outside the cell and the concentration of solute is higher inside. A solution outside of a cell has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.

If concentrations of dissolved solutes are greater inside the cell, the concentration of water inside the cell is correspondingly lower. As a result, water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium.

Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one through a semipermeable membrane.

Describe the transfer of thermal energy as the ice cream melts and as it becomes solid again. In both situations, describe which
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Melting = endothermic, solid = exothermic

Explanation:

Ok so when ice cream melts, that requires heat, so it’s Endothermic. In order to melt it, it requires heat, heat is entering. When it becomes solid again, that is exothermic because it is losing heat in order to become cool again.

How do you calculate the number of photons having a wavelength of 10.0 micrometers required to produce 1.0 kilojoules of energy
shtirl [24]

To calculate this,

We know that energy is 1 photon 
E = hc/wavelenth 
wavelength of 10.0 m 

Solution:
h = 6.626 x 10^-34 Jsec 
C = 2.9979 x 10^8 m/sec 
E = 6.626 10^-34 * 2.9979 10^8 / 10 = 1.9864 10^-26J 

Then, the number of photons is computed by:

n = 1000 / 1.9864 10^-26 = 5.04 10^28 photons
