Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.

Which of the following pairs of reactants will react together to produce water (H2O) as one of the products?
Rainbow [258]
1) <span>NaNO3 and H2O - no reaction , it is dissolution
2) no hydrogen to make water
3) </span><span>Fe(OH)3 (base) and H2SO4(acid)) 
base +acid ----> salt +water
4) </span><span>Li2O and Ba(OH)2
basic oxide and base ----> no reaction

so Answer number 3)
</span> 2Fe(OH)3 +3 H2SO4 ------>   Fe2(SO4)3 + 6H2O<span>

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).
<span>3. (NH</span>₄<span>)</span>₂<span>C</span>₂<span>O</span>₄  ---> Ammonium Oxalate
NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.

Answer:

Option C.

Ilegal dumping of waste

Explanation:

This is because non point source of pollution refers to source of pollution that are many and not directly one which is illegal or does not meet the legal term. This type of pollution does not have a point source, it has many sources and this type of pollution is cause by rainfall or precipitation. Where when the rain fall, it wash away the waste through to water bodies, causing pollution and endangering water bodies.

The radioactive decay of a certain sample produced 846 disintegrations per minute. exactly 3.00 days later, the rate of decay wa
Margarita [4]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{1.81 da}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the decay constant

The integrated rate law for radioactive decay is 1

\ln\dfrac{A_{0}}{A_{t}} = kt

where

A₀ and A_t are the counts at t = 0 and t

k is the radioactive decay constant

\ln \dfrac{846}{269} = k \times 3.00\\\\\ln3.145 = 3.00k\\1.146 = 3.00k\\\\k =\dfrac{1.146}{3}\\\\k = \text{0.382 /da}\\

2. Calculate the half-life

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k} = \dfrac{\ln2}{0.382} = \text{1.81 da}

The half-life for decay is \boxed{\textbf{1.81 da}}.
