Answer:

a)Ranking according to decreasing atomic number

B> C>A

b)Ranking according to decreasing neutron number

C>B>A

Explanation:

The nuclear equations corresponding to process A, B and C in that order are shown in the image attached.

Considering the proton numbers of the daughter nuclei, the order of decreasing atomic or proton numbers shown in the answer can easily be verified from the individual nuclear equations shown in the image.

Similarly, the neutron number is obtained from (mass number- atomic or proton number). The order given in the answer can also be verified from the nuclear equations shown.

a culinary student fills a 40ml container with 37.2 grams of vegetable oil.What is the density of the oil
Lynna [10]

Answer:

<h2>0.93 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 37.2 g

volume = 40 mL

We have

density =  \frac{37.2}{40}  \\  = 0.93

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.93 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A student prepares a aqueous solution of butanoic acid . Calculate the fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form
ella [17]

Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵

Then;

C₄H₈O₂               -------->            C₄H₇O₂⁻          +           H⁺

I                    0.54x10⁻³                             0                                0

E                   0.54x10⁻³(1-x)                      0.54x10⁻³x                0.54x10⁻³x

Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation

From the ICE table;

Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]

1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)  

1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x

1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

Hence;

0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0

x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation here;

x = 0.154 or −0.182

Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154

Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%
