Can a chain reaction occur with only one radioactive nucleus? Explain why or why not

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Independent variable: the surface of the slope rug, bubble wrap and wood

For this experiment, various solutions were compared to look for precipitation or bubbling. The precipitates or bubbles are the independent variable in the experiment. Therefore, option B is correct.

The term precipitation is defined as a solid produced by a change in a solution, often due to a chemical reaction or change in temperature that decreases solubility of a solid.

A substance separated from a solution or suspension by chemical or physical change, usually as an insoluble amorphous or crystalline solid.

A compound may precipitate when its concentration exceeds its solubility. This can be caused by temperature changes, solvent evaporation, or solvent mixing. A strongly supersaturated solution precipitates more quickly.

Independent variable are the surface of the slope rug, bubble wrap and wood.

Thus, option B is correct.

Sulfur Dioxide, (SO2), is an inorganic compound, a heavy colorless poisonous gas.

Sulfur dioxide has a pungent, irritating odor, familiar as the smell of a just-struck match. It is produced in huge quantities in an intermediate setup. Occurring in nature in volcanic gases and in solution in the waters of some warm springs, sulfur dioxide usually is prepared industrially by the burning in air or oxygen of sulfur or such compounds of sulfur as iron pyrite or copper pyrite.

In the atmosphere, it can combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid, a major component of acid rain. In the laboratory the gas may be prepared by reducing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to sulfurous acid (H2SO3), which decomposes into water and sulfur dioxide, or by treating sulfites (salts of sulfurous acid) with strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, again forming sulfurous acid.

Sulfur dioxide can be liquefied under moderate pressures at room temperatures; the liquid freezes at −73° C (−99.4° F) and boils at −10° C (14° F) under atmospheric pressure. Although its chief uses are in the preparation of sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide, and sulfites, sulfur dioxide also is used as a disinfectant, a refrigerant, a bleach, and a food preservative, especially in dried fruits.

Solid potassium (K) conducts an electric current, whereas solid potassium iodide (KI) does not because solid potassium has a delocalized sea of electrons and KI has its cations and anions.

Positively charged potassium and negatively charged iodine combine to form the straightforward inorganic ionic chemical potassium iodide. It is solid at room temperature and resembles sodium chloride or table salt in terms of crystalline structure.

The major uses of potassium iodide are to treat hyperthyroidism and as a dietary supplement for those who are iodine deficient. Additionally, it is utilized as an expectorant to treat asthma and other long-term respiratory disorders, as well as to shield the thyroid gland from radiation.

When potassium iodide is dissolved in water, it splits into cations and anions, enabling free electron movement across the solution. It does not conduct electricity when it is in a dry crystal state, though, like other ionic compounds.

The combined mass of the dog and the basket is equal to 5.71 Kg.

Work can be described as the energy used when applying a force to move an object through a definite displacement.

The work done by a force to move an object through a displacement can be represented as:

W = F.dcosθ

Where θ is angle between displacement and force.

Given, the height the basket lifted up, d = 1.4 m

The angle between force and displacement, θ = 0°

Thus, the work done when lifting the basket is:

W = F d cosθ

W = mg.d cosθ

W = mg.d cos0°

m = W/gd

m = 221/(9.8).(3.95)

The solubility of MgCO₃ in a solution that contains 0.055 M Mg²⁺ ions is 6.36 * 10⁻⁷.

The solubility of a solution is the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent.

The solubility of MgCO₃ in a solution that contains 0.055 M Mg²⁺ ions is calculated from the dissociation equation for the reaction given below:

The solubility product constant, Ksp =  [Mg²⁺] * [CO₃²⁻]

At equilibrium, [Mg²⁺] = 0.055 + x

[CO₃²⁻] = x

Assuming x is <<< 0.055, hence 0.055 + x = 0.055

Ksp = 0.055 * x

x = Ksp / 0.055

x = 3.5 × 10⁻⁸ / 0.055

x = 6.36 * 10⁻⁷

Initial volume of chlorine gas = 425 L

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final volume = ?

Final temperature =  -15°C

Solution

Initial temperature = 32°C (32+273 = 305 K)

Final temperature =  -15°C (-15 +273 = 258 K)

The Charles Law will be used to resolve the presented issue.

This equation states that at constant pressure and molecular number, the volume of a given amount of a gas is precisely proportional to its temperature.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

We will now enter the values into the formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁
