Answer:

The answer is C) They are less stable

Explanation:

Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but differing numbers of neutrons. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. They can also be defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus.

Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 18.0 g of luminol into a total vol

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

1.36M

Explanation:

Luminol is a compound having the molecular formula as C8H7N3O2.

To know the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol, we shall carry out the following:

Step 1:

we shall calculate the number of mole in 18g of luminol. This is shown below:

Molar mass of C8H7N3O2 = (12x8) + (7x1 ) + (14x3) + (16x2)

= 96 + 7 + 42 + 32

= 177g/mol

Mass of C8H7N3O2 = 18g

Number of mole of C8H7N3O2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of C8H7N3O2 = 18/177 = 0.102 mole.

Step 2:

Conversion of 75.0 mL of H2O to Litre (L).

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 75mL = 75/1000 = 0.075L

Step 3:

Determination of the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol.

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of water. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol as follow:

Mole of C8H7N3O2 = 0.102 mole

Volume of water = 0.075L

Molarity =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 0.102/0.075

Molarity = 1.36M

Therefore, the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol is 1.36M.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

At three-quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda, the cookie's texture becomes fragile like that of a soda cracker, with a deeply roasted flavor that distracts from the ginger.

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$ where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation: $T_C+273=T_K$

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, $T_1 = 273[K]$ , and $T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K]$ .

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})$

$1810.04571428[mL]=V_2$

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives $V_2=1810[mL]$
