What happens to the half-life and mass of reactants broken down during a nuclear decay reaction?

Chemistry

A) The half-life of reactants in a nuclear decay reaction remains constant over time, but the mass of reactants that are consumed decreases

Explanation:

The rate at which elements decays radioactively is directly proportional to the number of atoms present in it. This is a simple first-order kinetics.

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time taken for half of the radioactive nuclei to disintegrates.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process. If a radioactive decay is fast, the mass of the reactants will decrease significantly with time thereby producing more of the daughter isotopes.

The reactant in a radioactive decay are the parent isotopes. The products are the daughter isotopes.

what occurs when the extinguishing agent reacts with the cooking oil to form a soapy foam blanket that provides separation betwe
umka2103 [35]

Cooking oil and the extinguishing agent combine to produce saponification, which creates a soapy foam blanket that separates fuel and oxygen.

<h3>What takes place when you add foam to a fire?</h3>

These are the ways foam functions: The foam smothers the flames by covering the fuel surface. The foam covering keeps the fuel surface and the flames/ignition source apart. Foam cools the fuel as well as any nearby metal surfaces.

<h3>What are some uses for a foam fire extinguisher?</h3>

The best and safest fire extinguisher to use on fires involving solid combustibles and flammable liquids (Class B) is foam (Class A). Typically, when liquids like gasoline, diesel, paint, oil, solvents, or spirits are burned, it can result in potentially deadly fires.

34kurt

Answer:

The correct option is: Richness and Evenness

Explanation:

Species diversity is the measurement of the biological diversity and relative abundance of each species found in a particular biological community.

It is comprised of the following three components:

1. richness (number of species)

2. phylogenetic diversity

3. evenness (relative abundance of each species)
