Answers:
1. B.)
2. Both A.) and B.)
3. A.)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Ions in gas phase
A plasma is a gas consisting of electrons and positively charged ions.
Because the particles are ions and electrons, rather than neutral atoms or molecules as in ordinary gases, scientists consider a plasma to be a fourth state of matter<em>.</em>
2. Kinetic Molecular Theory
Both activities illustrate the postulate.
A.) If the particles are extremely small and far apart, most of the volume of a gas is empty space. That's why it's easy to push the plunger of a capped nozzle syringe containing a gas.
B.) If the particles are far apart, it's easy for a coloured gas to spread into an inverted jar placed on top of a jar containing the gas.
3. Hot air balloon
The high temperature in the balloon makes the gas molecules spread apart according to Charles's law, because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure.
As the hot air escapes from the vent, the combined mass of balloon + hot air becomes less than the mass of cold air that it displaces, and the balloon rises.
B.) is <em>wrong</em>. Boyle's law applies only when both the number of moles and the temperature remain constant.
Answer:
1. ¹⁰₄Be ---> ¹⁰₅B + ⁰₋₁β
2. ³⁴₁₄Be ---> ³⁴₁₅P + ⁰₋₁β
3. ¹⁹²₇₈Pt -----> ¹⁹⁰₇₆Os + ⁴₂α
4. ²⁸₁₂Mg ---> ²⁸₁₃Al + ⁰₋₁β
Explanation:
1. In the first equation, Beryllium-10 isotope undergoes beta-decay, emitting a beta-particle to form boron-10 isotope. The balanced nuclear equation is given below:
¹⁰₄Be ---> ¹⁰₅B + ⁰₋₁β
2. In this reaction, silicon-34 isotope undergoes beta-decay, emitting a beta-particle to form phosphorus-34 isotope. The balanced nuclear equation is given below:
³⁴₁₄Be ---> ³⁴₁₅P + ⁰₋₁β
3. In this equation, platinum-192 isotope undergoes alpha-particle decay emitting an alpha-particle to form osmium-190 isotope. The balanced nuclear equation is given below:
¹⁹²₇₈Pt -----> ¹⁹⁰₇₆Os + ⁴₂α
4. In this equation, magnesium-28 isotope undergoes beta-decay, emitting a beta-particle to form aluminum-28 isotope. The balanced nuclear equation is given below:
²⁸₁₂Mg ---> ²⁸₁₃Al + ⁰₋₁β
The weight itself technically will not change. The pull of gravity lessens, making it appear that it is lighter on the moon.
