Answer:

Transmutation is the conversion of an atom of one element into an atom of a different element through nuclear changes.

An alpha particle is a particle composed of 2 protons and 3 neutrons. It results from transmutation because of the change in protons in a large nucleus.

A chemical equation is balanced accord to the number of atoms of each element before and after the change. This is also shows the Law of Conservation of Matter.

A nuclear equation is balanced according to mass number and charge (atomic number). These equations can’t be balanced like chemical equations because the identities of the atoms can change.  On the left of equation, the top number is the atomic mass and the bottom number is the atomic number. Take note that if you add the atomic mass (top number), you’ll get the the atomic mass of of the atom pre-transmutation. Same applies with atomic number. This shows a balanced nuclear equation.

The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Electrons have very small masses, so they are not accounted in atomic mass.

Answer:

Chain reaction

Explanation:

A chain reaction is a reaction that sustains itself. It has the ability to continue for a very long time without adding any more materials to the reaction system. It may be succinctly described as a self propagating reaction.

In a nuclear fission, uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons to produce unstable uranium-236 which disintegrates to form daughter nuclei and produce more neutrons that bombard more uranium-235 and the reaction continues indefinitely.

The reaction 2PH3(g)+As2(g)⇌2AsH3(g)+P2(g) has Kp=2.9×10−5 at 873 K. At the same temperature, what is Kp for each of the followi
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Part A

Kp = 3.4 x 10⁴

Part B

Kp = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁴

Part C

Kp = 1.2 x 10⁹

Explanation:

2PH₃(g) + As₂(g)  ⇌ 2 AsH₃(g) + P₂(g)  Kp = 2.9 x 10⁻⁵

Kp = [AsH₃]²[P₂]/[PH₃]²[As]  = 2.9 x 10⁻⁵

Part A

it is the inverse of the equilibrium given

Kp(A) = 1/ Kp = 1 / 2.9 x 10⁻⁵ = 3.4 x 10⁴

Part B

Is the equilibrium where the coefficients have been multiplied by 3,

Kp(B) = ( Kp )³ = ( 2.9 x 10⁻⁵ )³ = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁴

Part C

This is the  reverse equilibrium multipled by 2.

Kp(C) = ( 1/Kp)² = ( 1/ 2.9 x 10⁻⁵ )² = 1.2 x 10⁹

Categorize each hydrocarbon as being saturated or unsaturated.
Black_prince [1.1K]

As you have not provided the options, still we can figure out the answer by understanding the key difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

SATURATED HYDROCARBONS are those hydrocarbons which only consist of a carbon carbon single bonds. All the bonds are sigma there are no pi bonds at all. Examples are shown below.

While, UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS are those hydrocarbons which may contain either a double bond or triple bonds or both of them between the carbon atoms as shown below.

To sum up the question: why are some parts of the body more sensitive than others?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others because they have more nerve endings. It hurts when you bite your tongue because the sides of your tongue have a lot of nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain! The tongue, lips, and fingertips are the most touch-sensitive parts of the body.  The parts of your skin that need to be most sensitive like your fingertips and your lips have more receptor cells in them than others less sensitive areas.  The least sensitive skin on the human body is found in the heel area. This is because there are very few nerves in the heel to feel things. If there were too many nerves in our heels then walking would be far too painful.
