- For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by O A. zero O B. minus 1 OC. minus 2 O D. minus 3arrow_forwardFor this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay.

I already solved part a) 1)Energy Efficiency at Home : Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electrickettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a)Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electrical energy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with 92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85% efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove…arrow_forwardI need the answer as soon as possiblearrow_forward

Then came Rudolf Clausius, a scientific visionary who dared to challenge the notion of a perfectly ordered universe. He introduced the concept of entropy – a measure of the hidden chaos constantly increasing within all systems. His breakthrough was a spark. Building on this foundation, Josiah Gibbs unveiled "free energy" – the untapped potential to do work, like the hidden power within a battery, waiting to be harnessed. Meanwhile, Ludwig Boltzmann, delving into the heart of entropy, exposed the universe's unsettling truth: it favors disorder. He connected this chaos to probability, revealing that the more disorganized a system becomes, the more likely it is to remain that way.
