First-order kinetics governs how the sample's original mass of 25.0 g decays nuclearly.

<h3>What is nuclear decay, exactly?</h3>

An unstable alpha particle emits subatomic particles on its own through a variety of processes known as radioactive decay. The parent nucleus is said to decay, resulting in the daughter nucleus.

<h3>What causes nuclear materials to decay?</h3>

When there is a reduced nuclear configuration to which an atom can transition, the atom radioactively decays. An atom's true decay event takes place at random and is not brought on by aging or other changes over time.

What information does the specific heat capacity of water provide?
marissa [1.9K]
<span>Heat capacity or thermal capacity is a measurable physical quantity equal to the ratio of the heat added to, or remove an object to the resulting temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin and the dimensional form is L²MTΘ. Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass by 1 degree Celsius.</span>

2. What is the molarity of a HCl solution containing 1.2 grams of hydrochloric acid in 0.025 L of solution?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1.3M

Explanation:

Convert from grams to moles:

molar mass of HCl = 1.01g(molar mass of H) + 35.45g(molar mass of Cl) = 36.46g HCl

1.2g HCl (1mol HCl/36.46g HCl)

= .0329 mol HCl

Molarity = mol/L (important formula for concentration)

Plug your values in:

Molarity = .0329mol/.025L

1.317M - but you used two significant figures in the question, so:

1.3M

Select the atoms or ions drawn with valid Lewis dot structures. A) A carbon has a dot on top, right, bottom and to the left.a ni
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The atoms or ions with the valid Lewis dot structures are B and C.

In A;

The Lewis structure of the carbon is correct. Each of the four dots represent the four valence electrons.

The  nitrogen with one dot on top, left and to the bottom and has a charge of minus 3 is wrong. For it to have a charge of -3 it must have 8 lewis dots ( two on the top, right, bottom and to the left)

The nitrogen with four dots (on top, right, bottom and to the left) is wrong.

In B;

An oxygen has two dots on top and bottom and one dot to the left and to the right. This is correct , the 6 dots represent the valence electrons of oxygen.

In C;

A carbon has two dots on top, right, bottom and to the left and a charge of plus four. This is correct because the charge indicates that it has gained four extra electrons so its valence electrons is now 8.

In D;

An oxygen has two dots on top, left and to the bottom and a charge of minus 2. This is wrong because the lewis dots are incomplete. Two dots are missing.
