How much does it cost to drive 75 minutes

Which of the following is not a common use of gypsum? a. wallboard/drywall for homes b. a primary ingredient for toothpaste c. s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

pH reducing agent for acidic soils

Explanation:

Gypsum is not used to reduce soil pH because it will displace the soil H+ but there's no means of extracting the H from the soil. So the pH of the soil remains the same.

___________ polymers can be produced in large quantities at low cost. please. thank you.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Plastic polymers

Explanation:

Plastic polymers are usually made up of synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers such as polyethylene, polystyrene etc.

Plastic polymers have a unique property called malleability. Malleability is the ability of a substance to be moulded into different sizes and shapes.

When hear is applied plastics gets soft and can be molded into different forms and then it becomes hardened after exposure to air(dried).

The plastic polymers are usually very cheap to produce in large quantities which is why it is very common in industries.

the chemical compound C2F4 is used to make PTEE (Teflon). How manyC2F4 molecules are in 485 kilograms of this material?

monitta

Answer:

$molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the Avogadro's number to compute the molecules of C2F4 whose molar mass is 100 g/mol contained in a 485-kg sample as shown below:

$molecules=485kgC_2F_4*\frac{1000gC_2F_4}{1kgC_2F_4} *\frac{1molC_2F_4}{100gC_2F_4}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules C_2F_4}{1molC_2F_4} \\\\molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Best regards,

Help ASAP pleaseeee!

Bond [772]

Answer:

When plastics decomposed, they produce methane gas, which contributes to global warming (not questioning beliefs on the matter). Plastic debris also is an issue affecting the ecology of an environment and can cause issues for the affected organisms. But the greenhouse gases released from biodegradable plastics is likely a greater concern.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
