Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.
Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.
The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
Answer:
- Absolute zero is - 459.67 °F
Explanation:
<u>1) Convert absolute zero to celsius:</u>
- 0 K = - 273.15°C ( this is per definition of the scale)
<u>2) Convert - 273.15°C to Fahrenheit:</u>
- T (°F) = T (°C) × 1.8 + 32 (this is the conversion equation=
- T (°F) = - 273.15 × 1.8 + 32 = - 459.67 °F ← answer
Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.
Explanation:
To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:
Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL
Volume of water = 10.00 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.
Answer:
45 neutrons
Explanation:
Bromine has 35 protons and a mass number of 80. a) How many neutrons does the atom of bromine have? The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80 and 35 protons so 80-35 = 45 neutrons.
Answer:
C) atmosphere → plants → animals → soil
Explanation:
The third choice provides the correct path through which carbon is cycled in nature.
Carbon passes from the atmosphere to plants then to animals and finally to the soil.
- Plants uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture their food.
- The food is made up of giant carbon chains which also provides nourishment for animals.
- When animals digest plant matter, they obtain energy for their process.
- The waste is passed into the soil .
