Since none answered from Indian NCERT yet, let me give a simple definition from ICSE..
Latent Heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to convert unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapour state WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ITS TEMPERATURE....
hope this helps!
Answer:
magnification makes everything smaller so you can see smaller things up close and study them more
Explanation:
Answer:
Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.
Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives
New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6
= 500 x 0.015625
= 7.8125 g
Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.
Explanation:
The minerals that one might be examining if you place some hydrochloric acid on a sample and it fizzes are Calcite and Dolomite.
Calcite and dolomite are very similar minerals. Both have the same hardness, the same rhombohedral cleavage, and are found in identical geologic settings. The best way to tell one from the other is the acid test; A drop of 1 M HCl on calcite produces an instant , obvious Fizz; a drop on dolomite produces slow or no obvious bubbling.
