1. The reaction for this would be:
Sn + 4 HNO₃ → SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.
2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.
Answer:
Q = 1455.12 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 300 grams
Initial temperature = 22.3
Final temperature = 59.9°C
Specific heat capacity = 0.129 J/gºC.
To find the quantity of energy;
Where,
Q represents the heat capacity.
m represents the mass of an object.
c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
dt represents the change in temperature.
dt represents the change in temperature.
dt = T2 - T1
dt = 59.9 - 22.3
dt = 37.6°C
Substituting the values into the equation, we have;
Q = 1455.12 Joules.
The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay
because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma
decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the
photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for
humans so care not to get caught in them.
The correct answer is 7 I just took the test :)
