Answer: A. Pollution

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are the fuels which are excavated from undersurface and deep regions of the the earth crust. These are produce by millions of years of decomposition activity of soil microbes on organic matter generated after dead and decaying plants and animals. These fossil fuels are used as a source of energy.

The fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas produces toxic,harmful and polluting gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides on combustion and burning. These gases contaminate the air and water hence causes pollution.

Therefore, the main advantage of using fossil fuel is pollution.

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br><br> 257/100 Fm= ________+4/2He
maria [59]

Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf

253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.

Explanation:

1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

2) Therefore:

i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.

2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.

3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.

4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:

₉₈²⁵³ Cf.

5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:

₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He

You can verify the mass balance:

257 = 253 + 4, and

100 = 98 + 2

Suppose you start with one liter of vinegar and repeatedly remove 0.08 L, replace with water, mix, and repeat. a. Find a formula
Bumek [7]

Answer:

0.92^n

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial amount of vinegar = 1 Litre

Number of litres removed repeatedly = 0.08 Litre

Since the amount removed each time is constant, then ;

Initial % = 100% = 100/100 = 1

. Using the relation :

Amount of vinegar in mixture :

Initial * (1 - amount removed / initial amount)^n

n = number of times repeated

1 * (1 - 0.08/1)^n

1 * (1 - 0.08)^n

1 * 0.92^n

Hence,

For nth removal,

Concentration will be :

0.92^n ; for n ≥ 1
