lesya [120]3 years ago

 <span>A small proportion of helium in the crust is helium that was trapped in the Earth when the Earth formed and has not yet escaped. Most helium on Earth, however, forms as a result of alpha decay of uranium and thorium. The emitted alpha particles, once they grab a couple of stray electrons, become helium atoms and can accumulate in gas reservoirs along with things such as methane.</span>

How can I explain that orange juice is a homogeneous mixture ?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: It is usually separated from tea leaves by filtration. B Because the composition of the solution is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture. A Orange juice contains particles of solid (pulp) as well as liquid; it is not chemically pure.

Summarize the relationship between an electron's energy level and its location in an atom
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The further an electron is from the nucleus. the greater its energy level.

Explanation:

When an electron is close to the nucleus, it is at as low an energy level as it can get.

We must put energy into an electron to pull it away from the attraction of a nucleus.

So, electrons that are further from the nucleus are at higher energy levels.

Maria is baking cookies. She mixes water, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter and chocolate chips and then measures the mass of
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass was obeyed since some of the mass evaporated while the cookies were baking.

Explanation:

Maria mixes water, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter and chocolate chips and then measures the mass of her ingredients.

Initial mass of ingredients = 1053 g

Final mass = 845 g

All these information are not of any great help.

Law of conservation of mass states that:

For any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system can not change with respect to time, as system's mass cannot change, any mass can neither be added nor be removed.

In this process of baking, considering the cookies as our system, they never formed a closed system. Hence were free for evaporation.

During the process of baking, water from dough must have evaporated and mass must have reduced.

Hence, the law of conservation of mass was not obeyed.

What was the significance of Thompson’s Plum Pudding model of the atom?
Pani-rosa [81]

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to
12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{1}{50}

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

\frac{salt}{sugar}  = \frac{5}{x} =\frac{3}{8} \\\\X = 13.333 g

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{13.333}{y} = \frac{1}{50} \\y = 666.667 g
