Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

<span>He wanted to show that warmed crystals radiate heat.
He wanted to show that the crystals emit X-rays.
He wanted to show that the crystals emit light after absorbing light.
He wanted to show that the crystals would become radioactive when they were exposed to sunlight.

Answer:

The correct answer is that he wanted to show that the crystals emit X-rays.

Explanation:

At the time of the investigation of the newly discovered X-rays, Henri Becquerel studied salts of uranium that got influenced by light. He found that the salt of uranium continuously discharged penetrating radiation that is shown on a photographic plate. Afterward, Becquerel showed that the radiation discharged by the uranium salts exhibited some features of X-rays.  

Thus, in his initial experiment, Becquerel exposed uranium crystals to sunlight in order to demonstrate that the crystals discharged X-rays that would illustrate the patterns witnessed on the photographic plates encountered with uranium salts.

8. Which of the following are reasons why Index fossils are chosen for determining ages of rocks? Select all that apply .
igomit [66]

Answer:

B. Distributed over a very wide range

D. Limited life existence in geologic time.

Explanation:

Index fossils are very unique fossils that helps in determining the relative ages of rocks and biostratigraphic correlation. They are usually called guide fossils.

  • Fossils are the preserved remains of dead organisms found in rocks.
  • Index fossils are a special class of fossils with the following properties;
  1. They are widely distributed.
  2. They have a short stratigraphic range.
  3. They show rapid evolution trends

For the reaction, calculate how many grams of the product form when 14.4 g of Br2 completely reacts. Assume that there is more t
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 21.45 g of KBr

Explanation:

Chemical reaction

                               2K + Br₂   ⇒   2KBr

                                       14.4            ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of bromine and potassium bromide

Bromine = 2 x 79.9 = 159.8g

Potassium bromide = 2(79.9 + 39.1) = 238 g

2.- Solve it using proportions

              159.8 g of Bromine ------------ 238 g of potassium bromide                    

                14.4 g of Bromine  ------------  x

                        x = (14.4 x 238) / 159.8

                        x = 3427.2 / 159.8

                        x = 21.45g of KBr

How many sucrose molecules are in 3.0 moles of sucrose scientific
DiKsa [7]
Answer:
             1.80 × 10²⁴ Molecules of Sucrose

Solution:

Number of Moles and Number of Particles (molecules in given case) are related to each other as,

                  Moles  =  Number of Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

Solving for Number of Molecules,

                  Number of Molecules  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³

Data Given;
                     Moles  =  3 moles

Putting values in eq,


                 Number of Molecules  =  3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³


                 Number of Molecules  =  1.80 × 10²⁴ Molecules

How has the study of fossil rocks evolved over time? (personal answer)
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

When an organism dies, it is usually destroyed by other forms of life and by weathering processes. On rare occasions some body parts—particularly hard ones such as shells, teeth, or bones—are preserved by being buried in mud or protected in some other way from predators and weather. Eventually, they may become petrified and preserved indefinitely with the rocks in which they are embedded. Methods such as radiometric dating—measuring the amounts of natural radioactive atoms that remain in certain minerals to determine the elapsed time since they were constituted—make it possible to estimate the time period when the rocks, and the fossils associated with them.
