During the beta radioactive decay process of a nucleus, there is a very high energy positron or electron is released. This particle that is released is also known as beta radiation.

Explanation:

Beta radiation is a current of electrons released at a rate exceeding the speed of light, with a kinetic energy  between 0.2 MeV and 3.2 MeV. Due to their lower mass which is approximately 5.5×10−4 amu (9.130×10^(−24)g), interactions between β-particles and the atoms of pass-through materials are much less frequent than the interactions between 5-007-particles: less than 200 ion pairs are typically formed in each centimetre of air passage.

valkas [14]
Solubility at 100 °C = 480 g / 100 mL of solution =: saturated solution

The proportion 240 g / 50 mL  is equal to the saturated ratio 480 g / 100 mL

Then, 240 g of sugar in 50 mL of boiling water will make a saturated solution.

Answer: saturated

Which of the following is not a base
SVEN [57.7K]
The answer is H₃C₆H₅O₇ (OPTION D).

In essence, the question is asking which of the options is an acid or a neutral compound; thus not a base.  A base is a compound that accepts free hydrogen ions while in aqueous solution and as such they usually lack hydrogen ions that can be released in solution.  If you ionize all the compounds/molecules above, the only on that has free hydrogen ions is OPTION D (which is an organic acid and not a base).

What happens in nuclear fission reactions?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

in nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into 2 or more smaller pieces that are more stable and releases energy in the process. the fission process also releases extra neutrons which can split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy

A balloon has a volume of 6.2 liters at 23.2 C. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of 144.0 C. What is the volume of th
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

8.7 L

Explanation:

T2(V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2
