Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To fill in the blanks:
When a nucleus undergoes......., the mass number of the nucleus decreases by four units.
Concept Introduction:
The unstable nuclei are called parent nuclei that forms the daughter nuclei either by combination or by decomposition of the nuclei. The radioactive decay is the conversion of the unstable nuclei to the stable nuclei with some other by product like alpha, beta and gamma particles. When they are formed by combination, the process is known as fusion and when they are formed by decomposition, the process is known as fission. The beta particles increase the

The data for the potential difference of a battery and its temperature are given in the table. Calculate the entropy change in J mol-1 K-1 (indicate the formulas used).Data: F = 96485 C mol-1
In a cell, the change in entropy (AS) can be calculated from the slope of the E° vs
1/T graph. The slope is equal to -AS/R, where R is the gas constant. Is this correct?
Using the Arrhenius equation, it is possible to establish the relationship between the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction and the temperature (T), in Kelvin (K), the universal gas constant (R), the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea). This equation is widely applied in studies of chemical kinetics, and is also widely used to determine the activation energy of reactions. In this context, the following graph shows the variation of the rate constant with the inverse of the absolute temperature, for a given chemical reaction that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Based on the analysis of this graph and the concepts acquired about the kinetics of chemical reactions, analyze the following statements:
I. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the temperature of the system.
II. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the concentration of the reactants.
III. The rate constant (K) varies proportionally with temperature.
IV. The value of the…
