     Because they frequently have a long half-lives, therefore his stay in the middle is long.

Number 4

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Answer: The correct answer is option (4)

Explanation:

Nuclear waste is a waste material left after the use of nuclear material in a nuclear reactor. The waste material left behind is higher in radio-activity that is the waste is radio-active in nature. This waste is highly toxic in nature.

Being possessed by radio-active nuclear substance they have long half-lives which allows them to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time.

Their ability to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time poses a great problem for the experts.

A wave hits a wall as shown. A brick wall with a green arrow pointing to the wall from below and right at a shallow angle. Anoth
Dominik [7]

Answer:

A wave reflection interaction (reflected by the wall)

Explanation:

In a reflection, the propagating wave is bounced off the reflecting surface because the medium of the surface prevents the propagation of the wave through it, such that wave is redirected at an angle equal to the angle of incident on the reflecting surface

Reflection takes place with the different forms of waves, such as sound wave, water waves, and light wave

The objects around us are seen with the aid of reflection of light from a light source such that the reflected light enters our eyes after being reflected on the surface of the object, and the object is seen.

Titanium metal requires a photon with a minimum energy of 6.94×10⁻¹⁹J to emit electrons. What is the wavelength of this light? E
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:2.86x10^-7m

Explanation:E=hc/^

E=6.94x10^-19J

c = 2.9979x10^8m/s

h= 6.626x10^-34Js

^ =( 6.626x10^-34)x( 2.9979x 10^8)/ 6.94x10^-19

= 2.86x10^-7m

Choose two different particles found in the air. Explain how they are different and how they are the same
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Dust and smoke.

Explanation:

Dust and smoke are two different particles present in the air. Dust and smoke are different from one another due to their origin. Smoke formed from burning of materials while dust refers to the soil particles lifted by the wind due to their light weight. Dust and smoke are similar to each other due to their small in size, infinite number means uncountable and light weight.

A voltaic cell consists of a nickel electrode in a solution containing Ni2+ ions, and a copper electrode in a solution containin
Marysya12 [62]
First, we write the half equations for the reduction of the chemical species present:

Cu⁺² + 2e → Cu; E° = 0.34 V
Ni⁺² + 2e → Ni; E° = - 0.23 V

In order to determine the potential of the cell, we find the difference between the two values. For this:

E(cell) = 0.34 - (-0.23)
E(cell) = 0.57 V

The second option is correct. (The difference in values is due to different values in literature, and it is negligible)

When CO2(g) reacts with H2(g) to form C2H2(g) and H2O(g), 23.3 kJ of energy are absorbed for each mole of CO2(g) that reacts. Wr
kupik [55]

Answer:

2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ

Explanation:

As energy is absorbed therefore it is an endothermic reaction. Hence energy value should be written in the product side with a negative sign.

Reaction:  CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)

C balance: 2CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)

H and O balance: 2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)

Here 2 moles of CO_{2} react. So, energy absorbed during the reaction is (2\times 23.3) kJ or 46.6 kJ

Energy balance: 2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ

Balanced thermochemical equation:

2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ
