U^235Number of protons = 92 pNumber of electrons = 92 eNumber of neutrons = 235 – 92 = 143n
U^238Number of protons = 92pNumber of electrons = 92eNumber of neutrons = 238 – 92 = 146n
Electron configuration of U atom U = 92 U = [Rn] 5f^6 6d^0 7s^0 U = [Rn] 5f^36d^17s^2, 7s is completely filled and others are less than half filled. 
(_92^238)U  Decays to (_90^234)ThIt loses 2 protons, 2 electrons and loses 2 neutrons Th = [Rn] 6d^2 7s^2 There is no electron in 5f subshell and 6d contains 2e^-, 7s completely filled

A chamber with a fixed volume is shown above. The temperature of the gas inside the chamber before heating is 25.2 C and it’s pr
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial temperature T₁  = 25.2°C  = 25.2 + 273  = 298.2K

Initial pressure  = P₁  = 0.6atm

Final temperature = 72.4°C   = 72.4 + 273  = 345.4K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use an adaption of the combined gas law where the volume gas is fixed. This simplification results into:

                  \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

where P and T are temperatures, 1 and 2 are initial and final temperatures.

 Input the parameters and solve;

          \frac{0.6}{298.2}   = \frac{P_{2} }{345.4}  

          P₂   = 0.7atm

How do you know if your hypothesis is supported by your results or not?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Your hypothesis is an educated guess of what the end results of an experiment will be, using what you already know about your experiment you are going to conduct. So when you receive your final results, if your hypothesis is correct, or even somewhat correct then you know that it is supported by your results. For example, if I were to conduct the Coca-Cola and Mentos experiment, I could make a hypothesis that the Coca-Cola will have a bigger eruption when I add more than one Mento to the bottle due to a higher amount of a chemical with the addition of each mento. When I receive my results that the eruption was bigger each time, I know that my results supported my hypothesis.
