What happens in nuclear decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus...

Pachacha [2.7K]
Solar energy will not run out (unless the sun burns out), but the supply of fossil fuels we use is slowly depleting. Burning fossil fuel also releases greenhouse gas into the air, which is bad for the atmosphere.

8. Why would it be a bad idea to make coins made of sodium metal?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and the moisture that is already present in the air and thus catches fire.

Over the ocean, the temperature rises much slower, because the water evaporates causing the hot molecules to go into the atmosphere, and the overall temperature of the water doesn't increase much, this causes the area without the water to be much hotter.

These are the reactants in the chemical equation C6H1206 +602 --> 6CO2 + 6H20: C6H1206 and 602

These are the reactants in the chemical equation 6 CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H1206 + 6 02: 6 CO2 + 6H2O

These are the reactants in the chemical equation 2 H2 + 02 --> 2 H2O: 2H2 and O2

These are the reactants in the chemical equation 2 H2O --> 2 H2 + O2: 2H2O

What is the pressure in a 5.00 L tank with<br> 7.10 moles of oxygen at 39.3 °C?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

36.4 atm

Explanation:

To find the pressure, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

P = ? atm                         R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K

V = 5.00 L                       T = 393 °C + 273.15 = 312.45 K

n = 7.10 moles

PV = nRT

P(5.00 L) = (7.10 moles)(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(312.45 K)

P(5.00 L) = 182.130

P = 36.4 atm
