Due to radioactive decay over many millions of years, it is possible for the element uranium to decay in

1 answer:

3 0

The uranium within these items is radioactive and should be treated with care. Uranium's most stable isotope, uranium-238, has a half-life of about 4,468,000,000 years. It decays into thorium-234 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.

Blababa [14]

Its a change in state of solid to liquid

the reason is that in a solid state the molecules have little kinetic energy to move and so they have restricted movement and so it remains solid
once heat is applied the molecules gain enough energy to move and so they turn into a liquid and move according to the laws of physics

hope that helps

Which of the following would be classified as an acid to the Arrhenius definition

mixer [17]

Any substance that increases the concentration of $H^+$ in aqueous solutions is Arrhenius's acid.

<h3>What are Arrhenius acids?</h3>

Arrhenius define acids as substances with the chemical capacities to increase the concentration of hydrogen ion in aqueous solutions.

Thus, substances like HCl, HNO3, HBr, etc. would be considered an acid. This is because they ionize in aqueous solutions as follows:

HCl ---> $H^+$ + $Cl^-$

$HNO_3 --- > H^+ + NO_3^-$

$HBr --- > H^+ + Br^-$

E)¿Cuántos átomos de oxigeno hay en la molécula de glucosa, al reaccionar 12moleculas de agua?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

12 átomos de oxígeno hay presentes

Explanation:

Basados en la reacción:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

<em>6 moles de agua producen 1 mol de glucosa</em>

<em />

Si reaccionan 12 moleculas de agua, se producirán:

12 moleculas H₂O * (1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ / 6 mol H₂O) =

2 moléculas de glucosa se producen.

Como cada molécula de glucosa tiene 6 átomos de oxígeno:

2 moléculas C₆H₁₂O₆ * (6 átomos Oxígeno / 1 molécula C₆H₁₂O₆) =

<h3>12 átomos de oxígeno hay presentes</h3>
