4 0

Answer: _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\textrm{He}

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

General representation of alpha decay :

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

The  balanced nuclear equation when the isotope Strontium-90 decays by Q-  decay is :

_{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\textrm{He}

An exhaled air bubble underwater at 290.
Vinil7 [7]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 52.7 ml.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure (P_{1}) = 290 kPa

Final pressure (P_{2}) = 104 kPa

Initial volume (V_{1}) = 18.9 ml

To find:

Final volume (V_{2})

We know;

From the ideal gas equation;

    P × V = n × R × T

where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of gas

n represents the no of the moles

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So;

   P × V = constant

   P ∝ \frac{1}{V}

From the above equation;

              \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }  = \frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }

P_{1} represents the initial pressure of the gas

P_{2} represents the final pressure of the gas

V_{1} represents the initial volume of the gas

V_{2} represents the final volume of the gas

Substituting the values of the above equation;

                    \frac{290}{104} = \frac{V_{2} }{18.9}

             V_{2} = 52.7 ml

<u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 52.7 ml.</em></u>

Determina el grado de pureza de un marmol (CaCO3), si al descomponerse 125 g del mismo se desprenden 20 litros de dióxido de car
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

67.8%

Explanation:

La reacción de descomposición del CaCO₃ es:

CaCO₃ → CO₂ + CaO

<em>Donde 1 mol de CaCO₃ al descomponerse produce 1 mol de CO₂ y 1 mol de CaO.</em>

Usando la ley general de los gases, las moles de dioxido de carbono son:

PV = nRT.

<em>Donde P es presión (1atm), V es volumen (20L), n son moles de gas, R es la constante de los gases (0.082atmL/molK) y T es temperatura absoluta (15 + 273.15 = 288.15K). </em>Reemplazando los valores en la ecuación:

PV / RT = n

1atmₓ20L / 0.082atmL/molKₓ288.15K = 0.846 moles

Como 1 mol de CO₂ es producido desde 1 mol de CaCO₃, las moles iniciales de CaCO₃ son 0.846moles.

La masa molar de CaCO₃ es 100.087g/mol. Así, la masa de 0.846moles de CaCO₃ es:

0.846moles ₓ (100.087g / mol) = <em>84.7g de CaCO₃</em>

Así, la pureza del marmol es:

(84.7g de CaCO₃ / 125g) ₓ 100<em> = </em>

Esterification is what type of reaction?
lyudmila [28]
Esters and Formation of esters. Esters and water are formed when alcohols react with carboxylic acids. This reaction is called esterification, which is a reversible reaction. ... Since esterification is a reversible reaction, esters can undergo hydrolysis to form corresponding alcohol and organic acid.

One meter is equal to 10 9 nanometers. How long in meters is 670 nanometers? 6.70 × 10 –7 m
Mila [183]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: the first option

Explanation:

Meter is a unit of length in the SI, international system of units. Its symbol is m.

Nanometer is equivalent to 10⁻⁹ meters, as its name says it is used to measure  extremely small particles.

-To solve this problem we use a rule of three.

                             1 meter      ⇒     10⁹ nanometers

                             x meters    ⇒     670 nanometers

Simplify

                            x = (670 x 1)/( 10⁹)              

                            x = 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ meters
