Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to increase because it would absorb energy in the form of heat.

Which of the following statements regarding alpha particles are true? Check all that apply.a. Alpha particles have a mass number

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The only true statement is:

a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4

Explanation:

Alpha particles are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number: 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1: false

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron and d. Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton. (both false)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.

1. Why is it necessary to equalize the pressure(i.e, have the water level the same in each tube) before taking a volume reading?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

If you contact water with a gas at a certain temperature and (partial) pressure, the concentration of the gas in the water will reach an equilibrium ('saturation') according to Henry's law.

Explanation:

This means: if you increase the pressure (e.g. by keeping the vial closed), the CO2 concentration will increase. So it simply depends what concentration you need for your assay: 'CO2-saturated' water at low pressure or 'CO2-saturated' water at high pressure.

How does prairie grasses protect soil

Prarie Grass Protects soil ( And this is just what I think, so I am sorry if I am wrong)

But I think that the grass is there so that the dirt doesn't fly away.

If the following elements were to combine with each other, choose which demonstrate the Law of Multiple Proportion. Select all t

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Missing question: Z:X = 7:1 A:Z = 2.5:1 A:Z = 2.2:1 Y:X = 11:1.

Answer is: Z:X = 7:1 and Y:X = 11:1.
Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
In this example ratios are whole numbers, A:Z = 2.5 : 1 and A:Z = 2.2 : 1 are not whole number ratios.

In which step of a four-stroke engine cycle does the car release CO2, H2O, and CO?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{exhaust stroke}}$

Explanation:

The four strokes are

Intake: The mixture of air and fuel enters the cylinder.
Compression: The mixture is compressed by a factor of about 11.
Ignition: A spark ignites the fuel, which burns and produces CO₂, CO, and H₂O.
Exhaust: The combustion products are expelled from the cylinder.

$\text{The cylinder releases CO$_{2}$, CO, and H$_{2}$O during the }\boxed{\textbf{exhaust stroke}}$
