Answer:

The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive

Explanation:

Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.

Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.

Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.

Answer:

1.) 0.1 M

2.) 0.2 M

3.) 1 M

4.) Solution #3 is the most concentrated because it has the highest molarity. This solution has the largest solute to solvent ratio. The more solvent there is, the lower the concentration and molarity.

Explanation:

To find the molarity, you need to (1) convert grams NaOH to moles (via molar mass from periodic table) and then (2) calculate the molarity (via the molarity equation). All of the answers should have 1 sig fig to match the given values.

Molar Mass (NaOH): 22.99 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 39.998 g/mol

4 grams NaOH           1 mole
----------------------  x  ------------------  = 0.1 moles NaOH
                                 39.998 g

1.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (1 L)

Molarity = 0.1 M

2.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (0.5 L)

Molarity = 0.2 M

3.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (0.1 L)

Molarity = 1 M
