Where are Uranium and plutonium found? (IN NATURE)

2 answers:

8 0

Wanted to write more both there is a problem with the editor. Uranium is formed naturally in the crust of rocks and seawater. Plutonium does not occur in nature. It is found in the biosphere.

Uranium is common in the Earths crust and can be recovered in seawater. Plutonium is not found in nature but is found in naturally occurring uranium ores

Which type of crust combination CANNOT undergo subduction?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

Subduction: they present if or if two Convergent edges or subduction zones (destructive edges). Where two plates collide, due to having movements with opposite directions, the denser one sinks below the less dense one along what is known as the subduction zone; the subducting plate goes into the mantle, heating up and partially melting generating magma that rises to the surface. A subduction zone is characterized by deformation, volcanism, mountain formation, metamorphism, seismic activity, and significant mineral deposits.

This phenomenon occurs between oceanic plates or between a continental and an oceanic plate, since when there is a difference in density they subduct.

In the event that the edges of two continental plates collide, it would be OBDUCTION, which is another phenomenon other than subduction. mantle does not produce the correct subduction process, as the movement must be absorbed in some way, this is carried out by vertically deforming both plates, which are joined by a suture area, forming an inner mountainous belt and Suffering, in addition, numerous earthquakes. This process is very important, since it is the one that has given rise to the highest mountain ranges on Earth and is a very active process at present (Ex: Los Alpes, Los Montes Urales and Montes Himalaya).

How many valence electrons are there in an argon atom?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The element argon is in column 8A and is a noble gas. Nobles gases are completely stable because their outershell is filled with all eight electrons. Argon has eight valence electrons.

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit

luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

$K~=~10^{4.9}$

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

$K`=~10^{1.12]$

Reaction can take place

2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

$K~=~10^{ -3.56}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

$K`=~10 ^{-12.93}$

Reaction does not happen

3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

$K~=~10^{-3.26}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

$K~=~ 10^{-12.63}$

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

What is a half-life of an isotope? please help

N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello! Hope this helps!

One important measure of the rate at which a radioactive substance decays is called half-life, or t1/2. Half-life is the amount of time needed for one half of a given quantity of a substance to decay. Half-lives as short as 10–6 second and as long as 109 years are common.
