Hi Sara


I would say it is an amorphous solid.


Because it's gradually loses shape.


I hope that's help:)

Which of the following statements describe what a normative system is?​
natta225 [31]

Explanation:

though the statements were not given let just give you a brief review of normative system.

A normative statement explains what should be base of the subject according to the belief through valued judgement that describes the fairness of the subject on public policy. Therefore, the unemployment rate should be lowered is a valued judgement based on the belief that it will bring economic welfare.

Normative systems, i.e., sets of norms, have two main. tions: a) to evaluate human actions, and b) to guide peop. The guidance and the evaluation based on a normativ. be good or bad.In social psychology three different normative behaviours have been identified: obedience, conformity and compliance.In the context of a normative system like law (or religion or morality), every statement of what one ought to do (or ought not to do) requires justification from a more general or basic statement. Such statements lead upward through the normative hierarchy until one reaches a foundational normative premise.

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What
Leto [7]

Answer: The nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction is a type of alpha decay process. In this process, the nucleus decays by releasing an alpha particle. The mass number of the nucleus is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is also decreased by 2 units. The particle released is a helium nucleus.

The general equation representing alpha decay process is:

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\textrm{He}

For the given equation :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}+^4_2\textrm{He}

As the atomic number and mass number must be equal on both sides of the nuclear equation:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}+^4_2\textrm{He}

Thus the nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

Ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer, is used as an explosive in fireworks and by terrorists. It was the material used in the t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The explosive decomposition of 98.4 kg of ammonium nitrate produces 58498.8 L of nitrogen, 29249.4 L of oxygen and 116997.6 L of water vapor.

Explanation:

To find how many liters of gas are formed from the explosive decomposition of ammonium nitrate it is necessary to follow these steps (check the attachment for better understanding):

1st) Balance the equation:

Write the decomposition equation and then find the correct coefficients to make sure that it goes according to the "Law of conservation of mass" (the mass of the reactants side must be equal to the mass of the products side). So, 2 moles of ammonium nitrate produces 2 moles of nitrogen, 1 mole of oxygen and 4 moles of water vapor.

2nd) Find the Ammonium nitrate molar mass:

The ammonium nitrate mass it is calculated by adding de molar mass of each atom that forms the ammonium nitrate molecule. You can find the elements molar mass in the Periodic Table.

In this example I decided to round the number to simplify tha calculus, for example: the oxygen molar mass in the periodic table is 15.9994 but I use 16. You can use the complete number if you want.

By doing this, the ammonium nitrate molar mass is 80 g/mol.

The statement says that there is 98.4 kg of ammonium nitrate. In ordder to use the same units in all the calculus sometimes it is usefull to convert the kg to g, so it is the same as 98400g. You can do it the other way around if you prefer (g to kg).

3rd) Find the number of moles of each gases and aqua vapor formed:

It is important to know the amount of each compound formed by the decomposition reaction, that's why we need to pay attention to the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

The amount of each compound is easily found by using the "rule of three".

To use the rule of three we need to think using the balanced reaction so:

If 160g (2 moles) of ammonium nitrate produces 2 moles of nitrogen gas, the 98400g that we have of ammonium nitrate will produce an X amount of nitrogen gas. With this information we multiply 98400g by 2 moles and then we divide the result by 160g. The final result it is 1230 moles of nitrogen.

In the same way we use the rule of three to calculate the number of moles of oxygen and water.  

4th) Find the liters (volume) of each gas and aqua vapor formed:

Finally, to find the liters from the number of moles, it is necessary to apply the "Ideal gases law", that relates the pressure (atm), volume (L), moles number and temperature (Kelvin) with the R gas constant in the formula:

PxV = nxRxT

It is important to use the correct units because the R gas constant is equal to 0.082 atm.L/mol.K.

As we need to calculate the liters (volume) we pass the pressure dividing to the other side and then we just have to replace the information:

V = (nxRxT)/P

As you can see in the attachment, doing this last step for each compound, we can find the liters produced of them.

Consider the reaction. CaCl2(aq)+K2CO3(aq)⟶CaCO3+2KCl. Identify the precipitate, or lack thereof, for the reaction. (A) KCl (B)
Natali5045456 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precipitate is defined as insoluble solid substance that emerges when two different aqueous solutions are mixed together. It usually settles down at the bottom of the solution after sometime.

For the given chemical equation:

CaCl_2(aq.)+K_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)+2KCl(aq.)

The products formed in the reaction are calcium carbonate and potassium chloride. Out of the two products, one of them is insoluble which is calcium carbonate. Thus, it is considered as a precipitate.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
