Answer:

As with cluster decay, alpha decay is not typically categorized as a process of fission. The first nuclear fission process discovered was fission induced by neutrons. Because cosmic rays produce some neutrons, it was difficult to distinguish between induced and spontaneous events.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Explanation:

The first step is:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}$

Second step is:

$P_2O_5_{(g)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+2P_2O_5_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}+4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Cancelling common species, we get that:

$P_4_{(l)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 in a 0.25 m solution of NaF(aq).

Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.4 × 10^-10 M

Explanation:

The molar solubility of the ions in a compound can be calculated from the Ksp (solubility constant).

CaF2 will dissociate as follows:

CaF2 ⇌Ca2+ + 2F-

1 mole of Calcium ion (x)

2 moles of fluorine ion (2x)

NaF will also dissociate as follows:

NaF ⇌ Na+ + F-

Where Na+ = 0.25M

F- = 0.25M

The total concentration of fluoride ion in the solution is (2x + 0.25M), however, due to common ion effect i.e. 2x<0.25, 2x can be neglected. This means that concentration of fluoride ion will be 0.25M

Ksp = {Ca2+}{F-}^2

Ksp = {x}{0.25}^2

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.25^2 × x

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.0625x

x = 4.0 × 10^-11 ÷ 6.25 × 10^-2

x = 4/6.25 × 10^ (-11+2)

x = 0.64 × 10^-9

x = 6.4 × 10^-10

Therefore, the molar solubility of CaF2 in NaF solution is 6.4 × 10^-10M

Thich of the following is a chemical property2

Dimas [21]

Answer:

"Freezing point and ability to react with oxygen" are chemical properties

Explanation:

The change of liquid into solid is the freezing point. The melting point is more than the freezing point in certain cases of mixtures for certain organic compounds like fats. As soon as the mixture freezes it becomes solid and which results in change in the composition from the liquid and solid in this way the it drastically reduces the freezing point. The melting point gets higher due to the pressure. This happens due to the release of heat of which results in the rise of temperature to the freezing point .Also the reaction of elements with oxygen which leads to formation of new substance is also an chemical property
