Answer:

The first equation shows the alpha decay.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Explanation:

The americium with atomic wight  224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

p2=125 kpa

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law

p1 x v1 = p2 x v2

p1=100kpa

v1=500ml

p2=?

v2=400ml

p2= (100x500)\400

p2=125 kpa

Explain the problem surrounding the ammonia-making process in terms of chemical equilibrium.
bazaltina [42]

Answer is: at lower temperatures the reaction rate would decrease.

The lower is the temperature, the slower the reaction becomes.

The Haber process is procedure for the production of ammonia, in this process atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) is converted to ammonia (NH₃):

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃ ΔrH = -92 kJ/mol.

Because this is exothermic reaction (enthalpy is less than zero), at lower temperatures, the equilibrium is in favor of ammonia, but the reaction doesn't proceed at a detectable rate.
