Answer:

Explanation:

Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that

²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e   ⇒  ²⁰¹₇₉Au

As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).

A reading shows a pressure measurement of 43 in. Hg. What is the equivalent pressure in psi? A. 5.73 psi B. 2223.13 psi C. 26.32
oksian1 [2.3K]
43 inHg = 43 inHg*2.54cm/in = 109.22cmHg * 10 mm/cm = 1092.2 mmHg


14.7 psi = 760 mmHg

1092.2mmHg * 14.7psi / 760 mmHg = 21.13 psi

Answer: option D. 21.13 psi

Is the boiling point of oxygen higher than nitrogen's
PSYCHO15rus [73]
The boiling point of oxygen is higher than nitrogen's boiling The reason the boiling point of O2 is higher is not because of increased van der Waals interactions, but simple physics. The mass of a molecule of O2 is greater than that of a molecule of N2, so the molecule of O2 traveling at a speed sufficient to break out of the liquid phase has a greater kinetic energy than an analogous N2 molecule. The net effect is that more energy must be distributed throughout a sample of O2 to achieve a given vapor pressure (in this case equal to atmospheric pressure) than for a sample of N2. More energy means greater temperature.
