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.

If 5.58 g of iron reacts with sulfur to produce 8.79 g of iron sulfide, what is the mass of reacting sulfur? A) 3215 B) 14:37 C)
gogolik [260]

Answer: A) 3.21 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

Fe+S\rightarrow FeS

We are given:

Mass of iron = 5.58 g

Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g

Mass of sulphur = x g

Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x

Total mass on product side = 8.79 g

Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

5.58+x=8.79\\\\x=3.21g

Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.

When two clear, colourless liquids are mixed together, a yellow precipitate is formed. This is an example of a
Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

Using the following reaction:
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Mn is the oxidizing agent.

N is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:

Mn^{7+}+5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}\\\\N^{3+}\rightarrow N^{5+}+2e^-

Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Best regards!

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction? Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 8Fe + S8 → 8FeS Z
abruzzese [7]

That would be the first option Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4  → CaSO4 + 2H2O.

The Ca replaces the H2 in H2SO4,  and the  H2 replaces the Ca is Ca(OH)2.

10. Copper(i) bromide reacts with magnesium metal: 2 CuBr + Mg → 2 Cu + MgBrz
velikii [3]

Answer:

72.6 grams

Explanation:

I got this answer through stoichiometry.  For every 1 mole of Mg, 2 moles of CuBr are consumed.  Because of this, multiply the moles of Mg by 2.  Then, convert moles to grams.
