Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acidic solution/compound. An acid is any substance with a pH level less than 7.

Ammonia is a moderately basic solution. It has a pH greater than 7. Therefore, it will not turn blue litmus paper red.

Baking soda is also a basic substance with a pH greater than 7. It also will not turn blue litmus paper red.

Distilled water is a neutral solution. It has a pH of 7, and it will not react with the litmus paper to change its color.

That leaves us with vinegar. Vinegar is an acid with a pH of less than 7. It will turn blue litmus paper red.

Emily wanted to see what battery lasted the longest. She put each battery into a clock and recorded the time that the clock stop
Andru [333]

Answer:

independent variable -- different batteries

dependent variable -- the time that clock stop

Explanation:

In an experiment or a research study, there are two type of variables that can affect the result of the experiment or the conclusion. They are independent variable and the dependent variable.

An independent variable may be defined as that variable in an experiment which can be changed or can be controlled in the scientific experiment in order to test the effect on the dependent variable. It cannot be changed by other variables.

On the other hand, dependent variable are those are those which can be altered or change that can affect the experiment.

In the context, Emily uses  the different types of the batteries as an independent variable and the time where the clock stopped in the dependent variable in her research.

When radium-226 (atomic number-88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes _____.
topjm [15]

Answer:

d. Radon-222

Explanation:

²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn  + ⁴₂He

Alpha particle is a helium nucleus with mass number 4 and atomic number 2. According to the law of conversation of mass, the sum of the mass number and atomic number must be equal on both side of the reaction.  

Since the mass number of Ra is 226 and that of He is 4. The mass number of the unknown element must be 226 - 4 = 222.  

Since the atomic number of Ra is 88 and that of He is 2. The atomic number of the unknown element must be 88 - 2 = 86.  

Now looking in the periodic table Radon is the only element with atomic number 86.
