Answer:
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.
Explanation:
Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)
b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.
c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.
d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.
Answer:
A. Engineers come up with scientific questions when they are developing their design, and scientists do research to answer them.
The correct question is as follows: 0.500 moles of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (plz help!)
Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
Explanation:
Molarity is the number of moles of a substance divided by volume in liter.
As it is given that there are 0.5 moles of potassium oxide in 2.00 L of water so, the molarity of this solution is calculated as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
The equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
Explanation:
The values given in the problem is
ΔG° = 1.22 ×10⁵ J/mol
T = 2400 K.
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
The Gibbs free energy should be minimum for a spontaneous reaction and equilibrium state of any reaction is spontaneous reaction. So on simplification, the thermodynamic properties of the equilibrium constant can be obtained as related to Gibbs free energy change at constant temperature.
The relation between Gibbs free energy change with equilibrium constant is ΔG° = -RT ln K
So, here K is the equilibrium constant. Now, substitute all the given values in the corresponding parameters of the above equation.
We get,



So, the equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
Answer:
F
Explanation:
A carousel can be made to rotate using different sources of energy. One may decide to use electric energy, manual effort, water energy or heat energy as in a candle carousel.
When the candle is lit, heat energy is supplied and warm air rises heating up the air near the carousel eventually causing it to start rotating.
Hence heat from the candle leads to a current of warm air that rises up, causing the carousel to start rotating.
