The weight of the container after the wax hardens is 0.18 N.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

We know that according to the law of the conservation of mass, the mass of an object can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to the other.

Looking at this law, we know that the mass would not change even after the time that the wax must have hardened. The total mass of the wax would have to be a constant.

Total mass would now be;

Mass of the wax + mass of the container

= 3 g + 15 g

= 18 g

Weight = 18/1000 * 9.8 m/s^2

= 0.18 N

The nuclear disintegration series of ________ is the source of radon-222 in soil.

The nuclear disintegration series of 238-U is the source of radon-222 in soil.

<h3>What is nuclear disintegration ?</h3>

The process of nuclear disintegration is how an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation.
A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive.
Alpha, beta, and gamma decay are three of the most prevalent types of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.

Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things.
Alpha particles may be present in the ionising radiation that is released.

As one atom transforms into another, radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy.
Helium ions are released from an atom's nucleus during alpha decay. A neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton and electron during beta decay.

4.3.6 Quiz: Calculating with Balanced Equations

Tom [10]

Answer:

B.) The coefficients give the molar ratio of the reactants.

Explanation:

The coefficients represent how many of each molecule are within a reaction. Coefficients are added to make sure the amounts of each element are the same on both sides of the reaction. You can use the coefficients to convert between moles of each molecule. As such, the best answer is B.) because coefficients are what allow you to construct a mole ratio.

A 78.0 sample of gold at 175°C is put in a foam cup calorimeter with 25.0 g of water at 25.0°C. Calculate the specific heat of t

Nady [450]

The answer is the specific heat of the gold is 0.129 J/gC .

<h3>What is Calorimetry ?</h3>

It is an experimental method that allows one to calculate the heat change in a chemical process.

Calorimeter is just a reaction vessel. It could be a foam cup, a soda can, or a commercially available bomb calorimeter

Where q represents the heat change in the reaction, the calorimeter and the water. Since you are only measuring temperature, you will need to calculate the heat using it.

The change in heat of the gold is given by:

$\rm q_{gold} = m c_{gold}\Delta T$
