Sophie [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Organic waste in landfills generates, methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting wasted food and other organics, methane emissions are significantly reduced. Compost reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. Compost promotes higher yields of agricultural crops.

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

What impact did the Spanish have on the region of South America?
vichka [17]

Answer:

The Spaniards practically went to war with the native Americans in South America, such as the Inca. They also brought diseases to South America. Diseases like smallpox.

Explanation:

Then after effectively killing off most of the native American population the Spanish continued to use South America for resources and they enslaved most of what was left of the non-Spanish and mixed populations. Francisco Pizarro took a page from Cortes' book, capturing Atahualpa, Emperor of the Inca, in 1532 and Cortes was the conquistador who defeated the Aztec Empire in what is now modern day Mexico or Central America.

The diameter of the He He atom is approximately 0.10 nm nm . Calculate the density of the He atom in g/cm 3 g/cm3 (assuming that
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the information given:

Since 1 mole of an atom = 6.022x 10²³ atoms)

1 atom of He = 1  \ atom \times  (\dfrac{1  \ mole}{  6.022 \times  10^{23}  \ atoms}) \times ( \dfrac{4.003 \ grams}{  1  \ mole})

=6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams

The volume can be determined as  folows:

since the diameter of the He atom is approximately 0.10 nm

the radius of the He = \dfrac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 nm

Converting it into cm, we have:

0.05 nm \times  \dfrac{10^{-9} \  meters}{ 1  nm} \times \dfrac{ 1 cm }{10^{-2} \ meters}

=5 \times  10^{-9}  \ cm

Assuming that it is a sphere, the volume of a sphere is

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi  \times (5\times 10^{-9})^3

= 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \ cm^3

Finally, the density can be calcuated by using the formula :

Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

D =  \dfrac{6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams }{ 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \  cm^3}

D = 12.69 g/cm³

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³
