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.

Consider the balanced equation below.
Vikki [24]

Answer: The mole ratio of PCl_3 to PCl_5 is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to the balanced chemical equation ,the number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. The stoichiometric coefficients of the species represent their number of moles.

PCl_3+Cl_2\rightarrow PCl_5

Thus in the reactants, there is 1 mole of PCl_3 and 1 mole of Cl_2 molecule. And thus there is 1 mole of PCl_5 in the product as well.

Thus the mole ratio of PCl_3 to PCl_5 is 1: 1

Why are vitamins and minerals are not classified as a food?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat.

Explanation:

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients required by the body to carry out a range of normal functions. However, these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat. Vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat soluble or water soluble.

In water, Vanillin, C8H8O3, has a solubility of 0.070 moles of vanillin per liter of solution at 25C. What will be produced if 5
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The full amount (5.00 g) will be dissolved in 1 L of water at 25°C.

Explanation:

The molecular weight (MW) of Vanillin (C₈H₈O₃) is calculated from the chemical formula as follows:

MW(C₈H₈O₃) = (12 g/mol x 8) + (1 g/mol x 8) + (16 g/mol x 3) = 152 g/mol

If 0.070 mol of C₈H₈O₃ are soluble per liter of water at 25°C, the maximum mass that can be dissolved in 1 L is:

0.070 mol x 152 g/mol = 10.64 g

Since 5.00 g is lesser than the maximum amount that can be dissolved (10.64 g), the added amount will be completely dissolved in 1 L of water at 25°C.
