Which of the following reasons is why spent fuel rods are stored in a pool of water?

Two states of matter are described below. State X: Particles are ions that are far apart State Y: Particles are molecules that a

Temka [501]

Answer 1 : State X is lightening and state Y is air.

Explanation:

Lightening is a phenomena which occurs due to electrostatic interaction between negatively charged ions and positively charged ions present in atmosphere.

Air is composed of various molecules of gases.

Answer 2: Third statement is correct.

Explanation:

When the vegetables are chopped change in shape of the vegetables that is physical change takes place.

When food is broken down into simpler form during digestion, chemical change takes place. During digestions the chemical composition of food changes as it was broken down into simpler molecules.

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

40. Write a balanced equation and a net ionic equation for combining AgNO3(aq) and Na2CO3(aq)

Kay [80]

we are given the the two reactants: AgNO3 and Na2CO3 and is asked to write a balanced equation and a net ionic equation for the reaction of the two. This is a double-replacement reaction:
2AgNO3 (aq)+ Na2CO3 (aq)= Ag2CO3 + 2NaNo3 (aq)
2 Ag + + 2 N03- + 2Na+ + CO32- = Ag2CO3 + 2 Na+ 2NO3-
cancelling the spectator ions, 2Ag + + CO32- = Ag2CO3
