<h2>Answer:</h2>

The nuclei with <u>D. 1 proton and 2 neutrons</u> will be least stable.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Nuclides containing odd quantities of the two protons and neutrons are the least steady and this implies increasingly radioactive.

Nuclides containing even quantities of the two protons and neutrons are most steady and this implies less radioactive.

Nuclides contain odd quantities of protons (positive charged particles) and even quantities of neutrons are less steady than nuclides which are containing even quantities of protons and odd quantities of neutrons. By and large, atomic strength is more prominent for nuclides containing even quantities of protons and neutrons or both.

When we add 1 proton with 2 neutrons we get 3 as answer, which means an odd value, thus nuclide with this proportion of proton and neutron is least stable.

Answer:

C. 1 proton 3 neutrons

Explanation:

A nucleus is more stable if the ratio of the neutrons to protons is between 1:1 and 1:1.5.

Thus the ratios of neutrons to protons for the nuclei are as follows

A- 1:1

B- 1:1

C- 1:3

D- 1:2

Among these ratios, C is the greatest thus the nucleus is the least stable.

A researcher discovers a new bacterium that lives on the seafloor near hydrothermal vents. This organism reduces CO2 to form C6H

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

C. Chemoautotroph

Explanation:

The new bacterium are able to create their own energy and biological materials (glucose) from inorganic chemicals (CO2 and H2), therefore they are called chemoautotroph.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of 5.6 °C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf-7.78 °C-kg·mol-1.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

27.60 g urea

Explanation:

The <em>freezing-point depression</em> is expressed by the formula:

ΔT= Kf * m

In this case,

ΔT = 5.6 - (-0.9) = 6.5 °C

Kf = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹

m is the molality of the urea solution in X (mol urea/kg of X)

First we<u> calculate the molality</u>:

6.5 °C = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹ * m

m = 0.84 m

Now we<u> calculate the moles of ure</u>a that were dissolved:

550 g X ⇒ 550 / 1000 = 0.550 kg X

0.84 m = mol Urea / 0.550 kg X

mol Urea = 0.46 mol

Finally we <u>calculate the mass of urea</u>, using its molecular weight:

0.46 mol * 60.06 g/mol = 27.60 g urea
