Explain how rain gauge measures the amount of rainfall​

Chemistry
1 answer:
andre [41]3 years ago
3 0

A rain gauge is really just a cylinder that catches rain. If an inch collects in the cylinder, it means an inch of rain has fallen. It's that simple. Most standard rain gauges have a wide funnel leading into the cylinder and are calibrated so that one-tenth of an inch of rain measures one inch when it collects inside.

andriy [413]

Number of alpha decays is 4.

₉₀Th²³² → ₂He⁴ + ₈₈Ra²²⁸        ∴ α = ₂He⁴

Since, atomic number change by 2 in each alpha decay.

Total charge = 90 -82 = 8

Number of alpha decay = 8/2 = 4.

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay wherein an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a extraordinary atomic nucleus, with a mass wide variety this is decreased through 4 and an atomic wide variety this is decreased through two.

Alpha decay - A common mode of radioactive decay wherein a nucleus emits an alpha particle (a helium-four nucleus). Beta decay - A commonplace mode of radioactive decay in which a nucleus emits beta particles. The daughter nucleus will have a better atomic number than the original nucleus.

What mass in grams of SO2 is needed to react with 37.50 mol of Oz?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:

2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O →  2H₂SO₄

Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.

If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂

Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂

We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:

75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
