Note that butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. Why does the number of possible isomers go up

with an increasing number of carbon atoms?

Because the number of constitutional, conformational, and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added. There are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane, a 10 carbon chain, than with butane, a 4 carbon chain.

Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil. Be sure to include how the parent and daugh
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The nuclear decay of radioactive elements is a process that is a useful tool for determining the absolute age of fossils and rocks. It is used as a clock, in which daughter elements or isotopes converted from parent isotopes by decaying at a particular time.

Radioactive decay rates are constant and do not change over time. It is measured in half-life. A half-life is a time it takes half of a parent isotope to decay and converted into a stable daughter isotope. How many parent isotopes and daughter isotopes present in the fossil or their abundance can help in determining the age of fossil or rock.

Is there an optimum amount of baking soda and vinegar to put in a plastic soda bottle rocket? How would you figure that out?
Snezhnost [94]
Add 1 tsp. of vinegar to the canister at a time, filling it almost to the top. You need to add as much vinegar to the canister as possible without the vinegar and the baking soda coming into contact when you later snap the lid onto the canister. Depending on the exact canister, this may be around 5 tsp.

Ben put 100 ml of water and 100 ml of oil in a beaker then he stirred the mixture. Which is the best way to quickly separate the
RSB [31]

To separate oil from water, add a solution of soluble ionic salt to the solution. Distillation, which involves boiling and condensing the water, is another option, as well as partially freezing the oil and water combination and discarding one-fourth to one-third of the unfrozen water.

Find [cu2+] in a solution saturated with cu4(oh)6(so4) if [oh − ] is fixed at 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m. note that cu4(oh)6(so4) gives 1 mol
ki77a [65]
<span>

</span>Cu_4(OH)_6(SO_4)
<span>
You have OH-  conc = </span>2.3 ✕ 10−6 m
From the formula, you can observe the ratio of Cu2+ to OH- is  4 : 6 = 2:3

So, for 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m OH-
[Cu2+] = \frac{2}{3} \times 2.3 \times 10^{-6}

= 1.53  \times 10^{-6} &#10;
