Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is a reaction which brings change in the nucleus of an atom.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n

A chemical reaction is a reaction which results in the formation of new compounds which have different properties than their reactants.

Hence, in a nuclear reaction changes in an atom occurs whereas in a chemical reaction changes in a compound or molecule occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that a major difference between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction is that only nuclear reactions can change the identity of the atom.

Assume the molality of isoborneol in your product is 0.275 mol/kg. What is the melting point of your impure sample given that th
aliina [53]

Answer:

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.

Explanation:

Melting point of pure camphor= T =179°C

Melting point of sample = T_f = ?

Depression in freezing point = \Delta T_f

Depression in freezing point  is also given by formula:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

K_f = The freezing point depression constant

m = molality of the sample  = 0.275 mol/kg

i = van't Hoff factor

We have: K_f = 40°C kg/mol

i = 1 (  non electrolyte)

\Delta T_f=1\times 40^oC kg/mol\times 0.275 mol/kg

\Delta T_f=11^oC

\Delta T_f=T- T_f

T_f=T- \Delta T_f=179^oC-11^oC=168^oC

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.

Why does a red object appear red?
NeTakaya

Answer:

Objects appear different colours because they absorb some colours (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colours. ... For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from the violet/blue end of the spectrum
