<span>Of the answers listed option B looks like the most complete. Ie "Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles." the significant presence of these particles is a specific indicator of radioactive decay, i.e: unstable atoms spontaneously undergoing a nuclear reaction.</span>

a physical property can be observed while the substance remains the same in its chemical composition. true false
sweet [91]

While the material retains its chemical makeup, the physical property may be examined. The given statement is true.

The matter can undergo variations in physical or chemical properties. The physical changes of a matter occur when the matter undergoes changes in its physical properties like changes in the state of matter, weight, color, etc.

But the chemical composition of matter will remain constant if it undergoes a physical change. Whereas in chemical change, the matter undergoes a change in the composition of the substance but there will be no change in the physical properties.

Hence, The assertion is correct in that physical properties can be seen while the substance's chemical makeup stays constant.

Answer:

1g Hydrogen

Explanation:

<h3><u>Getting</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u>:</u></h3>

Calcium in water reacts vigorously to give a cloudy white <em>Precipitate</em><em> </em>(compound) called Calcium hydroxide alongwith the evolution of Hydrogen gas.

\boxed{ \mathsf{Ca + H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Balancing</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>

This reaction is not in it's balanced form! The number of atoms of Hydrogen on the left is 2 while that on the right is 4,I.e.,they're not equal.

Adding a 2 in front of H2O solves the problem by making the number of atoms of each element on both the sides equal.

\mathsf{Ca +2 H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Observations</u><u>:</u></h3>

Looking into the equation more carefully, we see:

<u><em>1</em><em> </em></u><em>atom</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Calcium</em><em> </em><em>reacts</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em><u>2</u></em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>water</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>give</em><em> </em><u><em>1</em><em> </em></u><em>molecule</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Calcium</em><em> </em><em>Hydroxide</em><em> </em><em>alongwith</em><em> </em><em><u>1</u></em><em> </em><em>molecule</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Hydrogen</em><em> </em><em>gas</em><em>.</em>

<h3><u>Gram</u><u> </u><u>atomic</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>molecular</u><u> </u><u>masses</u><u> </u></h3>

<u>Mass</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u> </u><u>atom</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>Calcium</u><u> </u>= it's gram atomic mass

= 40 g

<u>Mass of one "molecule" of Hydrogen</u>

= it's Gram molecular mass

= gram mass of one atom × number of atoms in one molecule

= 1 × 2

= 2 g

So,

according to our observation:

One atoms of Calcium gives one molecule of Hydrogen <em>(during the particular reaction)</em>

=><u> 40g of Calcium gives = 2g of Hydrogen</u>

•°• 1 g of Calcium gives = \frac{2}{40}

= \frac{1}{20} g Hydrogen

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

We're provided with 20g of Calcium,

=> 20g of Calcium gives = 20 × \frac{1}{20} g H2

<u>= 1 g H2</u>

_______________

Hope this helps!
