Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

1)Which of the following changes would decrease the rate at which a solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent? (3 points)

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The first one is B, "Decreasing surface area."

Explanation:

This is because greater the surface area exposed, the more collisions that occur between the solvent and solute. I also just took the test myself and got it correct.
