Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei ​

Neutrons are electrically neutral, but contribute to the mass of a nucleus to nearly the same extent as the protons. Neutrons can explain the phenomenon of isotopes (same atomic number with different atomic mass). The main role of neutrons is to reduce electrostatic repulsion inside the nucleus.

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!

Which scenario presents a possible environmental impact due hydrogen fuel cells?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The scenario that presents a possible environmental impact due to hydrogen fuel cells is that, the electricity used to supply the fuel cells with Hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels.

The question is incomplete, but these should have been the options;

a.) The fuel cells are used to power internal combustion engines rather than electric motors.

b.) The electricity used to supply the fuel cells with hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels.

c.) The combined exhaust emissions from fleets of buses equipped with fuel cells generates smog.

d.) None of these are correct.

The answer therefore is option B. The Hydrogen fuel cell is a device that uses Hydrogen as an energy source to power machines and to generate heat and electricity. It is a green energy alternative to fossil fuels as unlike fossil fuels, it doesn't produce green house gases and is non-toxic. Also, unlike other clean sources of energy like wind and water, it doesn't require a large area of land to be produced.

Hydrogen fuel cells work by combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The resulting energy produced is converted to electrical energy which can be used to power electrical motors, while the by-product, water is non-toxic, renewable and doesn't create smog.

However, to produce the hydrogen used in the cells, high amount of energy is required in order to separate hydrogen from oxygen. To accomplish this, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil are used, releasing harmful emissions which creates a negative environmental impact. This makes the answer to the above question option B. A better alternative though, is to use other renewable energy sources like wind or solar.

You have 1.2kg of (AU)gold (that's quite a bit of money at $1839/ounce). Using a heat source you apply 3096 J to the gold and re
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

129 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of gold, m = 1.2kg

Quantity of heat applied, Q = 3096 J

Temperature, t2 = 40°C

Temperature, t1 = 20°C

Change in temperature, dt = (40-20)°C = 20°C

Using the relation :

Q = mcdt

Where, C = specific heat capacity of gold

3096 = 1.2kg * C * 20°C

3096 J = 24kg°C * C

C = 3096 J / 24 kg°C

C = 129 J/Kg°C

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s
