grin007 [14]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unstable isotopes are defined as the isotopes which have excess of neutrons as compared to the stable form of the nucleus of an atom.

These isotopes attain stability by undergoing a spontaneous nuclear decay. The isotopes which are unstable have another name and are known as radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.

These isotopes undergoes decay by 4 processes: Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma emission and positron decay.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

A patient needs 0.024 g of a sulfa drug. There are 12-mg tablets in stock. How many tablets should be given?
emmainna [20.7K]
I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...

so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g. 

so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g

hope this helps :)

Consider the following chemical reaction in a small volume of solution. According to LeChatelier’s Principle, which perturbation
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards reactants.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between chromate anions and hydrogen ions yields dichromate anions, water and heat, we can infer this is an exothermic reaction by which heat is released (remember in endothermic reactions heat is absorbed as a reactant), it means that considering the LeChatelier’s which states that increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium leftwards since heat is a product, otherwise (decreasing the temperature) the equilibrium will be shifted rightwards.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature is the perturbation that will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards the reactants.

Best regards!
