Answer:

b) break apart

Explanation:

The radioactivity is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus lose energy by emitting radiation like alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays and positrons which make part of the nuclei.

An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium

A Beta particle is an electron

The gamma rays are photons

And a positron is like and electron but with positive charge.

All these types of radiation make part of the radioactive decay.

What quantity can be calculated for a solid compound, given only the formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements

gavmur [86]

When you have both of these ( The periodic table of elements and the formula of your compound) you are able to calculate the R.M.M ( Relative atomic mass) of that compound.
For example the formula of a NaCl ( Table salt ) has the elemnt Na and Cl.
We look at the atomic mass of both of these compounds
Na - 23
Cl - 35.5
R.M.M = 23 +35.5 = 58.5
Hope this helps :).

The table below shows the density of a sample of a mystery liquid you tested in the lab. Can you infer the identity of the subst

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A. Yes, the substance must be water.

Explanation:

The density of a substance is unique to it. Density is defined the as the amount of substance contained per volume.

One of the ways of identifying a substance is to determine its density. Every matter is known to have their own specific densities. This makes them different from other substances. The density of gold is unique to it and it differs from that of silver.

In fact, water has density of 1.00gcm⁻³. Experimental errors and some little factors must have altered our expected figure. This a case of precision and accuracy in the experiment.

A 30.0-g piece of metal at 203oC is dropped into 400.0 g of water at 25.0 oC. The water temperature rises to 29.0 oC. Calculate

oee [108]

The specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.

Given the following data:

Initial temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature of water = 29.0°C

Mass of water = 400.0 g

Mass of metal = 30.0 g

Temperature of metal = 203.0°C

We know that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C.

To find the specific heat of the metal (J/g°C):

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water.

$Q_{metal} = Q_{water}$

Mathematically, heat capacity or quantity of heat is given by the formula;

$Q = mc\theta$

<u>Where:</u>

Q is the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m is the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity.

∅ represents the change in temperature.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

$30(203)c = 400(4.184)(29 \; -\; 20)\\\\6090c = 1673.6(9)\\\\6090c = 15062.4\\\\c = \frac{15062.4}{6090}$

Specific heat capacity of metal, c = 2.4733 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.
