Answer: condensation

Explanation: because of condensation is when gas becomes liquid, and is the higher plateaus in the cooling curve

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).

Gaseous butane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 4.1 g of butane is m

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12.44 g

Explanation:

2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O

n(C4H10) = m(C4H10)/M(C4H10) = 4.1 / 58g/mol = 0.0707 mol (excess).

n(O2) = m(O2)/M(O2) = 25.9 / 32g/mol = 0.809 mol (deficiency).

Since the ratio of O2 to octane is 13 : 2 we can divide 0.0707 by 2 to get 0.03535 and divide 0.809 by 13 to get 0.062.

mass of CO2 produced =

M = [0.0707 moles C4H10 x 8 moles CO2] / 2 moles C4H10 x 44 g CO2/mol

M = 0.5656/2 * 44

M = 0.2828 * 44

M = 12.44 of CO2

Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is

Mumz [18]

While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

Which statements correctly describe the decay rates of radioactive isotopes?

storchak [24]

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$
