Alpha Decay (radiation) is the one that the atom emits a particle having 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is a helium particle.

low level waste

Explanation:

Low level wastes are nuclear wastes generated from hospitals and industries as well as the nuclear fuel cycle, and is comprised of paper, rags, tools, clothing, filters, etc., which contain small amounts of mostly short-lived radioactivity.

Low level wastes are typically radioactive in nature and are difficult to dispose.
They originate from radioactive processes in the hospital and nuclear reactors.
There has been growing concerns about the safe disposal of radioactive wastes over the years.

They are made up of materials with short lived radioactivity.

An increase in temperature results in A) a decrease in the required activation energy while the reaction rate remains constant.

N76 [4]

Answer:

C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy

Explanation:

Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.

The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.

Which of the following best describes the change in Antarctic temperature from about 440,000 years ago to about 340,000 years ag

Vlada [557]

Answer: С . The temperature increases by about 12°C and then decreases by about 12°C.

Explanation:

Temperatures around the world have been on the rise since the Industrial revolution as humans clog the planet with Carbon Dioxide and other pollutants. This had led to a rise in temperatures that has seen ice levels fall and sea levels rise around the world.

Temperature fluctuations on the other hand are not a new thing. Studies show that in Antarctica temperatures from about 440,000 years ago to about 340,000 years ago increased by 12°C and then decreased by about 12°C.

Flag this question question 8 10 pts use the δh°f and δh°rxn information provided to calculate δh°f for if: δh°f (kj/mol) if7(g)

$\Delta H\textdegree{}_f(\text{IF} \; (g)} = -95 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$

Explanation

$\text{IF}_7 \; (g) + \text{I}_2 \; (s) \to \text{IF}_5 \; (g) + 2\; \text{IF} \; (g)$

$\Delta H\textdegree{}_\text{rxn} = -89\; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_7 \; (g) ) = -941 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ (from the question)
$\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_5 \; (g) ) = -840 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ (from the question)

As an the most stable allotrope under standard conditions, $\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{I}_2) = 0\; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$

By definition,

$\Delta H\textdegree{}_\text{rxn} = \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{all products}) - \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{all reactants})$

$\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_5 \; (g) ) + 2 \; \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF} \; (g) ) - \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_7 \; (g) ) - \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{I}_2 \; (s) ) \\ = \Delta H\textdegree{}_{\text{rxn}}$

$\begin{array}{ccc} \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF} \; (g) )& = & 1/2\; ( \Delta H\textdegree{}_{\text{rxn}} - \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_5 \; (g) ) + \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF}_7 \; (g) ) + \Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{I}_2 \; (s) ) )\\ & = & 1/2 \; (-89 - (-840) + (-941))}\\ & = & - 95 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \end{array}$

Note, that iodine on the reactant side is stated as a gas in the equation given in the question whereas under standard conditions it is expected to be under the solid state; the $\Delta H\textdegree{} _f$ given in the question seemingly corresponds to the one in which the reactant iodine exists as a solid rather than as a gas. Evaluating the last expression using data from an external source

$\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{I}_2 \; (g) ) = \Delta H\textdegree{}_f(\text{I}_2 \; (s)) + \Delta H\textdegree{}_{\text{sublimation}}(\text{I}_2) = 62.42 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ (Cox, Wagman, et al., 1984)

... yields $\Delta H\textdegree{}_f (\text{IF} \; (g) ) \approx -64 \; \text{kJ}\cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ , which deviates significantly from the experimental value of $-94.76 \; \text{kJ}\cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$ (Chase, 1998.) It is thus assumed that the $\Delta H\textdegree{}_\text{rxn}$ value provided requires a reaction with $\text{I}_2 \; (s)$ rather than $\text{I}_2 \; (g)$ as a reactant.

(environmental science) 1.which aspects of climate are most important to forest ecosystems?

mamaluj [8]

Probably the CO2 concentration. If the earth gets warmer by rising greenhouse gases (one of which is CO2), the amount of rainfall and precipitation increases. I am not an expert, but that's my first guess.
