The correct answer among the choices given is option B. Radioisotopes are isotopes that emit radiation because they have unstable nuclei. These are radioactive isotopes of an element. They are defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons.

2) A common "rule of thumb" -- for many reactions around room temperature is that the

babunello [35]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A common "rule of thumb" for many reactions around room temperature is that the rate will double for each ten degree increase in temperature. Does the reaction you have studied seem to obey this rule? (Hint: Use your activation energy to calculate the ratio of rate constants at 300 and 310 Kelvin.)

Solutions :

If we consider the activation energy to be constant for the increase in 10 K temperature. (i.e. 300 K → 310 K), then the rate of the reaction will increase. This happens because of the change in the rate constant that leads to the change in overall rate of reaction.

Let's take :

$T_1=300 \ K$

$T_2=310 \ K$

The rate constant = $K_1 \text{ and } K_2$ respectively.

The activation energy and the Arhenius factor is same.

So by the arhenius equation,

$K_1 = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_1}}$ and $K_2 = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_2}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_1}{K_2}= \frac{e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_1}}}{e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_1}{K_2}= e^{-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)}$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_1}{K_2}= - \frac{E_a}{R} \left(\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{E_a}{R} \left(\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} \right)$

Given, $E_a = 0.269$ J/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol/K

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{0.269}{8.314} \left(\frac{1}{300} -\frac{1}{310} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{0.269}{8.314} \times \frac{10}{300 \times 310}$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= 3.479 \times 10^{-6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_2}{K_1}= e^{3.479 \times 10^{-6}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_2}{K_1}= 1$

∴ $K_2=K_1$

So, no this reaction does not seem to follow the thumb rule as its activation energy is very low.

What are the major sources of crude oil<br>

timurjin [86]

Explanation:

Crude oil is a naturally occurring fossil fuel - meaning it comes from the remains of dead organisms.

Crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons - hydrogen and carbon atoms.

It exists in liquid form in underground reservoirs in the tiny spaces within sedimentary rocks. Or it can be found near the surface in oil sands.

It is often found alongside natural gas and saline water.

Crude oil is often interchangeably referred to as petroleum. This is because petroleum includes both the unrefined crude oil as well as refined petroleum products.

It is non-renewable - once it’s gone it’s gone and cannot be easily replaced.

a new weight-loss fad claims that you can reduce your mass simply by traveling to the Moon where gravity is weaker. why is this

Lilit [14]

Your mass can never change no matter where you are since mass is the amount of matter you contain. By going to the moon, you do become lighter due to the weaker gravity but the amount of matter that you are made of (your mass) does not change.

I hope the helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
