Energy, in a form of gamma rays, is <span>released when an electron and its antiparticle (positron) annihilate each other. </span>

Solution:

the minimum total energy released when an electron and its antiparticle (positron) annihilate each other is:-

2 mc^2.    [Mass of electron m and c is the velocity of light.]  

m=1*10^(-30) kg., c =3*10^ 8 m/s  

energy released = 2 *9* 10 ^(-14) j  

1 j =6*10^(18) eV.  

Energy released = 6*18*10^4 eV

                               =104*10^4 eV  

                                 =1.04 MeV.

A 0.72-mol sample of PCl5 is put into a 1.00-L vessel and heated. At equilibrium, the vessel contains 0.40 mol of PCl3(g) and 0.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant for PCl_5 is 0.5

Equilibrium constant for decomposition of NO_2 is 1.79 \times 10^{-14}

Explanation:

PCl_5 dissociates as follows:

                    PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

initial          0.72 mol     0         0

at eq.     0.72 - 0.40   0.40      0.40

Expression for the equilibrium constant is as follows:

k=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}

Substitute the values in the above formula to calculate equilibrium constant as follows:

k=\frac{[0.40/1][0.40/1]}{0.32/1} \\=\frac{0.40 \times 0.40}{0.32} \\=0.5

Therefore, equilibrium constant for PCl_5 is 0.5

Now calculate the equilibrium constant for decomposition of  NO_2

It is given that 3.3 \times 10^{-3} \% is decomposed.

NO_2 decomposes as follows:

                                  2NO_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NO + O_2

initial                            1.0 M       0           0

at eq. concentration of  NO_2   is:

[NO_2]_{eq}=1-(0.000066) = 0.999934\ M

[NO]_{eq}=6.6 \times 10^{-5}\ M

[O_2]_{eq}=3.3\times 10^{-5} = 3.3\times 10^{-5}\ M      

Expression for equilibrium constant is as follows:

K=\frac{[NO]^2[O_2]}{[NO_2]^2}

Substitute the values in the above expression

K=\frac{[6.6\times 10^{-5}]^2[3.3 \times 10^{-5}]}{[0.999934]^2} \\=1.79\times 10^{-14}

Equilibrium constant for decomposition of NO_2 is 1.79 \times 10^{-14}

Equal numbers of moles of He(g), Ar(g), and Ne(g) are placed in a glass vessel at room temperature. If the vessel has a pinhole-
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Explanation:

Effusion rate of the lighter particles will be higher than the heavier particles. That is, the lighter particles will leave the container faster than the heavier particles. Over time, the vapor pressure of the greater number of heavier particles will be higher than the vapor pressure of the lighter particles.

=> VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Review Graham's Law => Effusion Rate ∝ 1/√formula mass.

PLZ HELP!!! ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! You read an article written by an amateur ghost hunter. It includes the following paragraph.
djverab [1.8K]

No, it is not a scientific claim. If a ghost hunter catches a voice on video like ghost hunters do you can either believe it or not. Ghosts are more of a  i believe it you dont have to type of thing becasue they have not been scientifically proven to exist.

What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction used to calculate ΔH∘f of SrCO3(s)?
Igoryamba

Answer :

Standard enthalpy of formation : It is defined as the enthalpy change for the reaction that forms one mole of compound from its elements. All the substances in their standard states.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is,

Sr(s)+C(s)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow SrCO_3(s)

In the balance reaction, Strontium (Sr), Carbon (C) and Strontium carbonate SrCO_3 are in solid state and oxygen is in gaseous state.

Anna lives in a city that experiences high precipitation, with an average annual rainfall of 524 millimeters. It is warm all yea
gavmur [86]

Anna lives in a city that is part of the tropical climate types. It has a constantly warm weather, and thus higher humidity, and according to the annual rainfall, it is most probably a rainfall that appears seasonally, not throughout the whole year.

Tim, on the other hand, lives in a city that is part of the dry climate types. It is most probably a place that is deep into the mainland, like the cold deserts of Central Asia, where the temperatures in the summer are high, and in winter are very low. Because of the distance from the sea, the rainfall doesn't reach this places, so they are very dry, and only have symbolic amount of annual rainfall.
