This is true. Liquids have an undefined shape, but a fixed volume.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Alpha decay is given by following general equation,
ᵃₓA → ⁴₂He + ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B
Where;
A = Parent Isotope
B = Daughter Isotope
ᵃ = Mass Number
ₓ = Atomic Number
Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf
The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆B
The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
Answer:
- <em>The pH of the solution is </em><u><em>7</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>The pH</em> is a measure of the acidity of the solutions. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).
<em>The hydrogen ion concentration of this solution is 1 × 10⁻⁷ M.</em>
Hence:
- pH = - log (1 × 10⁻⁷) = - (-7) = 7
This pH corresponds to a neutral solution (neither acid nor alkaline).
You should remember this relation bwtween pH and acidity/alkaliinity:
- Low pH (0.0 or close) corresponds to strong acids
- HIgh pH (14.0 or close) corresponds to strong bases
- Acids have pH between 0.0 and 7.0
- Bases have pH between 7.0 and 14.0
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.
