Answer: (3) different decay modes and different half-lives

Explanation: Potassium-37 and Potassium-42 have the same number of protons  but different numbers of neutrons i.e. they have same atomic number but different mass number. They are isotopes. Thus K-37 and K-42 have different decay modes

K-37 is positron decay and K-42 is beta decay.

_{19}^{37}{\textrm {Kr}}\rightarrow _{18}^{37}{\textrm {Ar}}+_{+1}^0{\textrm {e}}

_{19}^{42}{\textrm {Kr}}\rightarrow _{20}^{42}{\textrm {Ca}}+_{-1}^0{\textrm {e}}


K-37 has a half life of 1.23 seconds and K-42 has a half life of 12.4 hrs.

Thus they have different decay modes and different half lives.

An ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter. Which best describes heat flow in this situation
Sauron [17]
<span>When an ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter, heat will flow from the ice cube to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly. The molecules of the counter move more slowly because the heat transferred to them from the ice has reduced their kinetic energy.</span>

How many gallons of gasoline that is 5% ethanol must be added to 2,000 gallons of gasoline with no ethanol to get a mixture that
Amanda [17]

Answer:

V_1= 3000 gal

Explanation:

We have 3 solutions:

  • Solution 1 (with ethanol)
  • Solution 2 (no ethanol)
  • Final solution

V_f=V_1 + V_2

and for the ethanol:

V_f*0.03=V_1*0.05 + V_2*0

V_f=V_1 \frac{5}{3}

Combining:

V_1 \frac{5}{3}=V_1 + V_2

V_1 \frac{2}{3}= V_2

V_1= \frac{3}{2} V_2

If V2=2000 gal:

V_1= \frac{3}{2} 2000 gal

V_1= 3000 gal
