Answer:

10 million years

Explanation:

For a sample to decay to 25% of its original amount, 2 half lives must have passed. Since one half life is 5 million years, multiplying this by 2 gives us that 2 half lives is 10 million years.

How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 1.2 mol H2SO4? (Remember to balance the equation.)
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answer is D. 0.60 L

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation including states of matter is;

H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

More simple:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Now, we can see from this reaction equation that the mole ratio of NaOH to H2SO4 is 2:1

Number of moles of H2SO4 reacted = 1.2 moles

Hence;

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4

x moles of NaOH reacts with 1.2 moles of H2SO4

x = 2 * 1.2/1 = 2.4 moles of NaOH

Recall that;

Number of moles = Concentration * Volume

Volume = number of moles/concentration

Volume of NaOH  is obtained from;

Volume = 2.4 moles/ 4.0 M

Volume =  0.60 L

Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
OverLord2011 [107]

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

What is a non-example of Volume? A. The glass is half full is an example of volume. B.The glass is half empty is an example of n
Vladimir [108]
The correct answer would be C. A blank page <span>is a non-example of volume. Volume is the expression of size for 3D objects.  It has the measurement of a distance raised to the power of three. Choice A and B signifies that a certain the glass contains a certain volume of something which half of the glass. </span>
