Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. This process changes the atom to a different element or a different isotope

A container with a volume 2. 0 L is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1. 5 atm. By decreasing the volume of the container to 1.
worty [1.4K]

The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.

<h3>What is Boyle's Law?</h3>

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.

For the given question we use the below equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?

V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm

Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.

Find the density of a cube on Earth that weighs 1.5 kg and has a side-length of 10 cm.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1500kg/m^3

Explanation:

Formula:

d=m/v

Given:

m=1.5kg

v=1000cm^3

(The side length of a cube is always equal to the others)

Required:

d=?

Solution:

d=m/v

d=1.5kg/1000cm^3

d=1.5kg/0.001m^3

d=1500kg/m^3

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

Use chemical formulas to write the equation for the reaction between carbon and oxygen
Mandarinka [93]
C=Carbon
O=Oxygen
Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so the subscript two needs to be used after the O in the formula.
C+O2->CO2

A K+ ion is similar to a Cl– ion in that they both have the same A) nuclear charge B) number of electrons C) atomic number D) nu
pshichka [43]

Answer:

B) number of electrons

Explanation:

The two species:

          K+   and Cl- have the same number of electrons.

A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons

A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons

Now,

 To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18

To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18

So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18
