This is because U-235 decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. This means that it releases an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons connected together).
Another reason that U-235 is ideal for producing nuclear power is that unlike most materials, U-235 can undergo induced fission. When a free neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will usually capture the neutron and split extremely quickly. The splitting of a single U-235 atom can release roughly 200 MeV (million electron volts).
Answer:
Gas
Increase the pressure
Explanation:
Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).
<em>At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?</em>
If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.
<em>At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?</em>
Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).
Answer:
2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average
Explanation:
The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:
X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21
The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:
19.00amu * 0.1455 =
2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average
