Answer:

A: high neutron proton ratio

Explanation:

Radioactive decay occurs when unstable isotopes have their nuclei broken due to atomic instability. When this occurs, the radioactive decaying atom with a large nucleus probably contains a high ratio of neutron protons.

To understand why an isotope disintegrates we need to focus on the atomic nucleus. The nucleus is known to be charged with positive particles (protons), and they are very close to each other. It is also true that particles with equal charges repel each other. Therefore, the proximity of protons causes them to repel each other in an attempt to take as much space as possible. As a result, the core breaks because it cannot handle these repellent charges.

I believe the correct response would be A. More neutrons than protons.

For the titration of 50. mL of 0.10 M ammonia with 0.10 M HCl, calculate the pH. For ammonia, NH3, Kb
Korolek [52]

Answer:

11.12 → pH

Explanation:

This is a titration of a weak base and a strong acid.

In the first step we did not add any acid, so our solution is totally ammonia.

Equation of neutralization is:

NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl

Equilibrium for ammonia is:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄  NH₄⁺  +  OH⁻      Kb = 1.8×10⁻⁵

Initially we have 50 mL . 0.10M = 5 mmoles of ammonia

Our molar concentration is 0.1 M

X amount has reacted.

In the equilibrium we have (0.1 - x) moles of ammonia and we produced x amount of ammonium and hydroxides.

Expression for Kb is : x² / (0.1 - x)  = 1.8×10⁻⁵

As Kb is so small, we can avoid the x to solve a quadratic equation.

1.8×10⁻⁵ = x² / 0.1

1.8×10⁻⁵  .  0.1 = x²

1.8×10⁻⁶ = x²

√1.8×10⁻⁶ = x → 1.34×10⁻³

That's the value for [OH⁻] so:

1×10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] . [H⁺]

1×10⁻¹⁴ / 1.34×10⁻³ = [H⁺] → 7.45×10⁻¹²

- log [H⁺] = pH

- log 7.45×10⁻¹² = 11.12 → pH

In photosynthesis, the reactants are more stable than the products. However, both the products and reactants are stable. Therefo
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A.) Absorb and store

Explanation:

The reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO_{2}+ 12H_{2}  O → C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}  +6H_{2} O  (reaction conditions: light and chlorophyll)

<em>carbon dioxide + water → glucose + water</em>

<em />

This means light energy is <u>absorbed</u> and <u>stored</u> as sugar molecules and energy for the plant

Therefore, the photosynthesis reaction will <u>  absorb  </u> energy and <u>  store  </u> it in the chemical bonds.
