Answer:

42 19 K→42 20 Ca+e−

Explanation:

Naturally-occurring potassium atoms have a weighted average atomic mass of 39.10 (as seen on most modern versions of the periodic table.) Each potassium atom contains 19 protons p+ and thus an average potassium atom contains about 39.10−19≈20 neutrons n0.

This particular isotope of potassium-42 contains 42 nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons, combined;) Like other isotopes of potassium 19 out of these nucleons are protons; the rest 42−19=23 are therefore neutrons.

Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction

harkovskaia [24]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given enthalpy of reaction is,

$4B(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2B_2O_3(s)$ $\Delta H=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) $B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow 3O_2(g)+B_2H_6(g)$ $\Delta H_A=+2035kJ$

(2) $2B(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow B_2H_6(g)$ $\Delta H_B=+36kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_C=-285kJ$

(4) $H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_D=+44kJ$

Now we have to revere the reactions 1 and multiple by 2, revere the reactions 3, 4 and multiple by 2 and multiply the reaction 2 by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(when we are reversing the reaction then the sign of the enthalpy change will be change.)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction will be,

$\Delta H=-2\times \Delta H_A+2\times \Delta H_B-6\times \Delta H_C-6\times \Delta H_D$

$\Delta H=-2(+2035kJ)+2(+36kJ)-6(-285kJ)-6(+44)$

$\Delta H=-2552kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

Increase the force they are using to move the box by adding more helpers

Explanation:
If you want to increase the speed that the box is moving, increasing the friction would make it more difficult, decreasing the force they are using would just make it slower and increasing the angle of the ramp would make it harder. Adding more people would make it easier. “The more the merrier”
