Sodium azide is stable at room temperature but decomposes quickly at temperatures above 300°C. It is moderately inexpensive to m

anufacture but is highly toxic. Read this article on the effects of undeployed airbags. Based on the article, does sodium azide seem like a good match for the criteria and constraints you listed in part A? In what ways is sodium azide a good choice for an airbag design, and in what ways is it not?

The heat generated causes sodium azide to decompose into sodium metal and nitrogen gas, which inflates the car's air bags. Under normal circumstances, this molecule is quite stable. If heated, though, it will fall apart.Eating as little as 50 milligrams (less than two-thousandths of an ounce) of sodium azide can lead to collapse and a coma-like state within five minutes as blood pressure plummets and heart rate skyrockets. Ingest a few grams, and death occurs within 40 minutes.To prevent microbial contamination, sodium azide can be added to an antibody preparation to a final concentration of 0.02% (w/v). Many Abcam antibodies already contain this preservative at concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 0.05%. This will be indicated on the datasheets in the section titled “Storage buffer”Sodium azide is highly toxic. Ingestion of 100 to 200 mg can result in headache, respiratory distress, and diarrhea. Target organs are the central nervous system and the brain.Heavy metal azides, such as lead azide are primary high explosives detonable when heated or shaken. Heavy-metal azides are formed when solutions of sodium azide or HN3 vapors come into contact with heavy metals or their salts.

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>

When a pot of water sits on a hot stove, the metal pot is heated, and then transfers its heat to the water. A student claims that conduction is the only type of heat transfer occurring. The statement that explains why the student’s idea is incorrect Conduction cannot occur between two different phases of matter. The answer is letter A.

1. The basic building block of matter are atoms. Every atom is basically a tiny sphere. Every atom is composed of 2 regions, the
V125BC [204]

1. The answer is: Electron cloud.

Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.

Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.

Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.

2. The answer is: Electron(s).

The electron (symbol: e⁻) is a subatomic particle whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge.

Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.

Substances with metallic bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons. Most metals have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

3. The answer is: Nucleus.

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Nucleus of an atom has positive charge, electrons are negative and atom has neutral net charge.

For example, alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons (p⁺) and two neutrons (n°).

4. The answer is: Proton(s).

The proton (p⁺) is subatomic particle with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge.

Protons and neutrons, each with masses of approximately one atomic mass unit, are called nucleons.

Protons and neutrons are hadrons composed of three valence quarks.

The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and the neutron.

5. The answer is: Neutron(s).

Neutron (symbol: n°) is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge.

Protons and neutrons are found in nucleus of an atom (atomic nuclei).  

They are called nucleons and have masses of approximately one atomic mass unit.

Mass number (A) is sum of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom.

6. The answer is: Direct relationship.

For example, the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram shows the relationship between the star's absolute luminosities (the total amount of energy emitted per unit of time by a star) versus their effective temperatures (the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount of electromagnetic radiation).

The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram puts each star on a graph according the star's brightness against its temperature.

7. The answer is: Inverse relationship.

For example, Wavelength is the inverse of the frequency.

Wavelength is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

The frequency is a measure of how often sinusoidal components of the wave repeat per unit of distance.  

Higher the frequency, shorter the wavelenght.

Shorter the frequncy, longer the wavelenght.

8. The answer is: No relationship.

Correlation is any statistical association, how close two variables are to having a linear relationship with each other.

If the correlation between the two variables is zero, there is no relationship

between them. So, variables have nothing to do with each other.

9. The answer is: Experimental control.

An experimental control is used in scientific experiments to minimize the effect of variables which are not the interest of the study.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

10. The answer is: Controlled variable(s).

A control variable is an experimental element which is constant and unchanged throughout the course of the experimentation.

For example, if the volume is made the control variable, it is not allowed to change it throughout the course of the experiment.

The control variables are not of primary interest to the experimenter.
