Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of americium-241

Butadiene undergoes a reaction at a certain temperature in the gas phase as follows: 2c4h6(g) --> c8h12(g) the following data were collected for this reaction: time (min) [c4h6] (m) 0 0.36 15 0.30 30 0.25 48 0.19 75 0. determine the order of the reaction and the rate constant. 1st order and k = 4.3x10 -4 s-1 1st order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 zero and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1

Is the idea of spontaneous generation supported by redi's experiment? justify your answer in 2-3 sentences?

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10m. make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume of the molecules should cause noticeable deviations from ideal-gas behavior at ordinary temperatures (t= 300k ). assume that deviatons would be noticeable when volume of the gas per molecule equals the volume of the molecule itself.
