Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?

Chemistry

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!

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

Complete and balance the molecular equation, including the phases, for the reaction of aqueous potassium sulfate, k2so4, and aqu
Tju [1.3M]
The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products. 

The reaction is 
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s) 

To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.

Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction. 
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced. 
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side. 

Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)

How many grams of FeCo3 will be produced from 57.2g FeCl2
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

             287.30 g of FeCO₃

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                           FeCl₂ + Na₂CO₃    →    FeCO₃ + 2 NaCl

Step 1: Calculate Mass of FeCl₂ as,

                            Molarity  =  Moles ÷ Volume

Solving for Moles,

                            Moles  =  Molarity × Volume

Putting Values,

                            Moles  =  2 mol.L⁻¹ × 1.24 L

                           Moles  =  2.48 mol

Also,

                            Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Solving for Mass,

                            Mass  =  Moles × M.Mass

Putting Values,

                            Mass  =  2.48 mol × 126.75 g.mol⁻¹

                            Mass =  314.34 g of FeCl₂

Step 2: Calculate Mass of FeCO₃ formed as,

According to equation,

          126.75 g (1 mole) FeCl₂ produces  =  115.85 g (1 mole) FeCO₃

So,

               314.34 g of FeCl₂ will produce  =  X g of FeCO₃

Solving for X,

                     X =  (314.34 g × 115.85 g) ÷ 126.75 g

                     X =  287.30 g of FeCO₃
