The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

Acetaldehyde decomposes at 750 K: CH3CHO → CO + CH4. The reaction is first order in acetaldehyde and the half-life of the reacti
Degger [83]

Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

<span>biological reactions that happen within cells while reducing the complex interactions found in a whole cell. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have been used for creation of these simplified environments[1]. Subcellular fractions can be isolated by ultracentrifugation to provide molecular machinery that can be used in reactions in the absence of many of the other cellular components. Cell-free biosystems can be prepared by mixing a number of purified enzymes and coenzymes. Cell-free biosystems are proposed as a new low-cost biomanufacturing platform compared to microbial fermentation used for thousands of years. Cell-free biosystems have several advantages suitable in industrial applications</span>

Marie mixed 5g of carbon with 5g of lead oxide. she heated the mixture strongly for 15 minutes in a fume cupboard.
olga2289 [7]
The problem talks about two questions and these are:

1. Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. Directing heat is easier. So let Marie heat the beads and also have heat another substance, for instance, water. If the beads heat quicker, then they are metals. Another test to conduct is called flame test. This test should give you a colored flame (blue/white for lead) the metal is lead if the reaction is: 2PbO+C ==> 2Pb +CO2

2. The beads are possibly to be lead since Ferrous(lead) oxide + carbon = carbon dioxide + lead
