Answer:

In effusion, a substance escapes through a tiny pinhole, or other hole whereas diffusion is the spreading out of a substance within a dispersing medium.

Effusion and diffusion are similar in terms of rates and speeds.

Explanation:

According to effusion, if there is a small hole in a container, a gas will leak from it. So, in this process a substance escapes through a tiny pinhole, or other hole.

According to diffusion, the two solutions will reach the lowest possible concentration of both, if they are combined and not mixed. So, diffusion is the spreading out of a substance within a dispersing medium.

Effusion and diffusion are similar in terms of rates and speeds.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 126 mol of hydrogen gas and 58 mol of oxygen gas.

Elden [556K]

Since a water molecule is H2O, you would divide 126 hydrogen molecules by 2, and you would get 63. That means you have 63 double hydrogen molecules, and 58 oxygen molecules to pair up with them. So that means you could have 58 molecules of water, with 5 double hydrogen molecules, so basically 10 extra molecules of hydrogen along with the H2O molecules. Hope I helped! :)

Recall rem = rad x q radiation weighting factor (q): the ability to transfer energy to the body 1 for photons 1 for electrons 2

tino4ka555 [31]

The biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting is 10 times.

<h3>What is radiation weighting factor?</h3>

As stated in the question, radiation weighting factor (q) is the ability to transfer energy to the body.

If radiation factor of proton = 2, and radiation factor of alpha particles = 20.

First person is exposed to alpha radiation = 20
Second person is exposed to protons = 2

Risk of first person with respect to second person = 20/2 = 10 times higher

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}$

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}$

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}$

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.

A 2kg metal cylinder is supplied with 1600J of energy to heat it from 5*C to 13*C. What is the SHC of the metal?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

100Jkg/°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of metal = 2kg

Amount of heat energy = 1600J

Initial temperature = 5°C

Final temperature = 13°C

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of the metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body by 1°C.

H = m x C x (T₂ - T₁ )

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

C is the unknown specific heat capacity

T is the temperature

Insert the parameters and solve;

1600 = 2 x C x (13 - 5)

1600 = 16C

C = 100Jkg/°C

Part A Transmutation is the process of transforming one element into another through nuclear reactions. What will be the nuclide

S_A_V [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The isotope produced after the transmutation process of Cf-249 and C-12 is $_{104}^{257}\textrm{Rf}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transmutation is defined as the process where one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of Californium-249 nucleus with Carbon-12 nucleus follows:

$_{98}^{249}\textrm{Cf}+_6^{12}\textrm{C}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+4_0^1\textrm{n}$

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

249 + 12 = A + 4

A = 257

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

98 + 6 = Z + 0

Z = 104

Hence, the isotope produced after the transmutation process of Cf-249 and C-12 is $_{104}^{257}\textrm{Rf}$
