Answer:

(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun.

Explanation:

<em>A reaction that is spontaneous can be described as</em>

<em>(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun.</em> TRUE. A spontaneous reaction has a tendency to proceed in the way it has begun. It is spontaneous when Gibbs free energy is negative.

<em>(B) releasing heat to the surroundings.</em> FALSE. If the reaction is exothermic (enthalpy negative), one still has to take into account the effect of the entropy on Gibbs free energy.

<em>(C) proceeding in both the forward and reverse directions.</em> FALSE. This just means that the reaction is reversible.

<em>(D) increasing in disorder.</em> FALSE. This means that entropy increases but it is still necessary to take into account the effect of enthalpy on Gibbs free energy.

<em>(E) having the same rate in both the forward and reverse directions.</em> FALSE. This is related to the kinetics but not the spontaneity.

Rhenium (Re) is made up of 37.4% 185Re and 62.6% 187Re. The atomic mass of 185Re is 184.953 amu. The atomic mass of 187Re is 186
Anna007 [38]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. We calculate as follows:

Average atomic mass = .374 ( 184.953 amu ) + .626 ( <span>186.958 amu )  = 186.208 amu

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Using the development of the atomic model.explain how scientists refine and build off each other’s findings, in order to develop
sineoko [7]
<span>The Atomic Model was something that was first developed by Neils Bohr. Several years later, Schrodinger took Bohr's basis of a theory and developed it into something larger. So as we can see, theories are a bit like puzzles. When first starting out, one person develops something, or has an idea on something. Others trying to either prove or disprove the original findings, will then test things in a new way, revealing more and more of the puzzle. As the puzzle becomes more and more clear, there is more and more that is revealed. Eventually, we get to a point where we have almost the entire picture, however we are still missing a few key pieces that complete the puzzle. We can see the big picture, but you can not exactly prove out what exactly the details are. This is how scientists such as Bohr and Schrodinger use each others research to build and refine theories. Eventually, we reach a point where we are only missing maybe one or two pieces, and at that point, a theory transitions into almost fact, such as evolution.</span>
