The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice which is "<span>An unstable nucleus decays into a more stable nucleus."

</span>Radioactive decay<span> (also known as </span>nuclear decay<span> or </span>radioactivity<span>) is the process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and conversion electrons. A material that spontaneously emits such radiation is considered </span>radioactive<span>.</span>

How many moles of isooctane must be burned to produce 100 kJ of heat under standard state condaitions?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

0.018 moles of isooctane must be burned to produce 100 kJ.

Explanation:

When the isooctane is <em>burned</em>, it undergoes a reaction known as combustion, in which reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. In standard conditions (Pressure = 1 atm and Temperature = 298 K) formed water is liquid. The balanced equation is:

C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) ⇄ 8 CO₂(g) +  9 H₂O(l)

The standard enthalpy of combustion (which can be found in tables) relates the amount of isooctane that reacts and the heat the reaction liberates. In this case, ΔH°c = -5,460 kJ/mol, that is every 1 mol of isooctane that burns, 5,460 kJ of heat are released.

We can begin with the information of 100 kJ and apply this conversion factor. Since this energy is released, by convention, we write it with a minus sign.

-100kJ.\frac{1mol (isooctane)}{-5,460kJ} =0.018 mol(isooctane)

Based on the equations below, which metal is the most active? pb(no3)2 (aq) + ni (s) â ni(no3)2 (aq) + pb (s) pb(no3)2 (aq) + ag
erastova [34]

Answer is: nickel (Ni) is the most active metal.

Chemical reaction 1: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Ni(s) → Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) + Pb(s).

Chemical reaction 2: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Ag(s) → no reaction.

Chemical reaction 3: Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)) + Ni(s) → Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s).

From chemical reactions 1 and 3, we can conclude that nickel is more reactive than lead (Pb) and copper (Cu), because lead is more reactive than silver (Ag), chemical reaction 2, nickel is also more reactive than silver.

In chemical reaction 2, no reaction occurs because silver is less reactive than lead. Lead is higher in activity series of metals and can not be reduced.

Nickel is higher in activity series of metals than lead, copper and silver.

The activity series is a series of metals from highest to lowest reactivity. Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another.

1. A student has a petri dish packed with a layer of marbles. Which of the following activities should the student perform to de
Sindrei [870]

Answer: A.) Removing a few marbles from the petri dish and stirring the rest around as energy is added

B) The high temperature makes the gas molecules spread apart according to Charles's law because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure.

Explanation: The phase transition from solid to liquid involves the use of energy to make the molecules present in solid to break the inter molecular forces and to start moving away from each other as in liquid. The molecules in solid are closely packed whereas in liquids they are loosely packed. Thus less number of molecules are present per unit volume in a liquid. Thus the marbles have to be removed to show less density and the energy has to supplied. Removing all but two marbles from the petri dish and shaking them vigorously as energy is added will give us a more disorderd state called gas in which the molecules are very far apart and the density is least.

B) According to Boyle's law the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and constant number of moles. P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

According to Charle's law the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and constant number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

Thus as temperature of the gas increases , the volume also increases, and the density decreases. the gas becomes lighter and thus rises up.
