Explanation:

Yes, a chemical reaction can happen with only one substance.

A typical example of such reaction is the radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. .

When radioactive elements are let alone, they decompose to form  stable harmless elements.

An example of radioactive decay is attached in the image below;

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A chemical reaction cannot happen with water alone. This is because, a chemical reaction must involve collision of particles from different reactants in order to give a product. No chemical specie can react with itself without some kind of interaction with another chemical specie which may or may not enter into the rate equation for that reaction.

Only nuclear reactions are spontaneous and involve only one reactant for spontaneous radioactive decay.

A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the subs
Marrrta [24]

Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?

A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance

B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance

C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms

D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.

The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's use carbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ.

What mass of powdered drink mix is needed to make a 0.5 M solution of 100 mL?
Maru [420]

Answer:

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed

Explanation:

<u>Step 1 :</u> Calculate moles

As given, the concentration of the drink is 0.5 M, this means 0.5 mol / L

Since the volume is 100mL, we have to convert the concentration,

⇒0.5 / 1   =  x /0.1    ⇒ 0.5* 0.1  = x = 0.05 M

This means there is 0.05 mol per 100mL

e

<u>Step 2 </u>: calculate mass of the powdered drink

here we use the formula n (mole) = m(mass) / M (Molar mass)

⇒ since powdered drink mix is usually made of sucrose (C12H22O11) and has a molar mass of 342.2965 g/mol.

0.05 mol = mass / 342.2965 g/mol

To find the mass, we isolate it ⇒0.05 mol * 342.2965 g/mol = 17,114825g

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed

How many bromine atoms are present in 39.0 g of ch2br2?
Mandarinka [93]
Answer is: there is  2,69·10²³ atoms of bromine.
m(CH₂Br₂) = 39,0 g.
n(CH₂Br₂) = m(CH₂Br₂) ÷ M(CH₂Br₂).
n(CH₂Br₂) = 39 g ÷ 173,83 g/mol.
n(CH₂Br₂) = 0,224 mol.
In one molecule of CH₂Br₂, there is two bromine atoms, so:
n(CH₂Br₂) : n(Br) = 1 : 2.
n(Br) = 0,448 mol.
N(Br) = n(Br) · Na.
N(Br) = 0,448 mol · 6,022·10²³ 1/mol.
n(Br) = 2,69·10²³.
