Answer:
Filtration works best when the solute isn't dissolve in the solvent. For instance, sand and water can be seperated through filtration because both compounds do not dissolve with each other. However, sugar and water would not be seperated through filtration as they dissolve with each other.

Answer:
Pu-239
Explanation:
Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:
U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 + ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 + ₋₁⁰β
Explanation:
Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.
Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .
Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:
This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four isotopic identities which all are stable.
Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid. Therefore, it can be assumed that the substance in the beaker is an acid.
Acids have a pH level of less than 7. Consequently, it can be assumed that the substance has a pH level less than 7.
