Answer:

Inner transition metals

Explanation:

The inner transition metals are also known as rare earth metals. The rare earth metals includes Lanthanide and Actinide Series of the periodic table. The elements with atomic numbers 89 to 103 are placed in the third group of the periodic table are Actinides. Examples are uranium and plutonium. These elements are with high oxidation number are radioactive elements. Thus, the inner transition metals are radioactive elements.

Answer:

inner transition metals

Explanation:

The inner transition metals consists mostly of the f-block elements. They comprise of lanthanides and actinides. Many of them are radioactive because they possess atomic numbers greater than 82, hence their nuclei are unstable. Many of them are synthetic elements hence they are highly radioactive with very short half lives.

Before measuring the absorbance of a solution with the ocean optics spectrophotometer, it is important to run a blank sample of

Strike441 [17]

I think the most appropriate answer is: the solvent being used in the experiment
To correct for any light absorption not originating from the solute you will need to calibrate the tools with a solution that most similar to the sample.
Blank covete or standard solution can be used, but it was not ideal. By using the solvent as calibration, you can remove the reading from the solvent so your result only comes from the sample.

The height of a wave is called its amplitude. From the noises of the mosquito and the air boat, which aspect of sound is related

TEA [102]

The answer is The loudness of sound is related to its amplitude, this is off edmentum exactly so I advise changing up the wording. You can say something about the pitch or you can word it like, The sound of the wave is related to how loud the sound can be. Hope this helped

What is the balanced equation for the manufacture of ethanol from glucose

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

Glucose is an organic molecule, specifically a sugar, with the formula C612O6 while ethanol is another organic molecule with formula; C2H5OH.

However, as rightly said in this question, ethanol can be got from glucose via a process called fermentation in the presence of a catalyst called YEAST. The balanced equation is as follows:

C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

A certain radioactive isotope placed near a Geiger counter registers 160 counts per second. 32 hours later, the counter register

stealth61 [152]

I believe that the answer for this question would be option A. 8 HOURS. Based on the given scenario above about a certain radioactive isotope placed near a Geiger counter, the half-life of the isotope 32 hours later would be 8 hours. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

What mass of FeSO4^2- x 6H20 (Molar Mass=260g/mol) is required to produce 500 mL of a .10M iron (II) sulfate solution.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The correct option is: B. 13g

Explanation:

Given: Molar mass of iron (II) sulfate: m = 260g/mol,

Molarity of iron (II) sulfate solution: M = 0.1 M,

Volume of iron (II) sulfate solution: V = 500 mL = 500 × 10⁻³ = 0.5 L (∵ 1L = 1000mL)

Mass of iron (II) sulfate taken: w = ? g
