Answer:    Nuclear decay rates are constant

Explanation:  Nuclear or radioactive decay occurs when energy is lost in unstable atoms, with emitting radiation. In this case, there are radioactive alpha, beta, gamma and other particles. In fact, this process presupposes the spontaneous transformation of unstable atomic nuclei. The characteristic of such processes is half-life, which represents a time period necessary for half of the amount of radioactive material to decay. It is not always predictable when a particular radioactive particle from an unstable atomic nucleus will be emitted, but <em>the decay rate over time is constant</em>.

Which will have a greater inertia the moon or the earth​
abruzzese [7]
Earth has more inertia than the moon. Explanation: Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of its mass. Greater the mass, greater is the inertia. Gravitational pull also depends on the mass of the object. Greater the mass, the object would pull with greater force. Earth has greater mass than the moon, thus it has greater inertia and greater gravitational pull.

Ammonium hydroxide is neutralized by sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate and water. It will make ___ mol ammonium sulfate
Bingel [31]

Answer:

1) Ammonium hydroxide is neutralized by sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate and water. It will make 0.157 mol ammonium sulfate when you neutralize 11.00 g ammonium hydroxide.

2) 2NH₄OH + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we should balance the equation of heptane combustion.
  • We can balance the equation by applying the conservation of mass to the equation.
  • The balanced equation is: <em>2NH₄OH + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>
  • This means that every 2.0 moles of ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) will produce 1.0 mole of ammonium sulfate (NH₄)₂SO₄ when it is neutralized by sulfuric acid.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles in 11.0 g of ammonium hydroxide that is neutralized using the relation: <em>n = mass/molar mass. </em>

n of 11.0 g of ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) = mass/molar mass = (11.0 g)/(35.04 g/mol) = 0.314 mol.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication: </em></u>

2.0 moles of NH₄OH make → 1.0 mole of (NH₄)₂SO₄.

0.314 mol of NH₄OH make → ??? moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄.

∴ The no. of moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄ that will be made from neutralizing (11.0 g) of NH₄OH = (0.314 mol)(1.0 mol)/(2.0 mol) = 0.157 mol.

<em>∴ Ammonium hydroxide is neutralized by sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate and water. It will make </em><em>0.157</em><em> mol ammonium sulfate when you neutralize 11.00 g ammonium hydroxide.</em>

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide. A) Mg + AlO → MgO + Al
solniwko [45]
Answer is "C".

<em><u>Explanation
</u></em>

Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another. 

Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is 
             Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al

To balance the reaction equation, both left and right hand sides should have same number of atoms in each element.
Here, 
 <em>Left Hand Side has </em>                                            <em>Right Hand Side has</em>
   Mg = 1 atom                                                         Mg = 1 atom
   Al = 2 atom                                                           Al = 1 atom
   O = 3 atom                                                           O = 1 atom

First step : balance the O atoms in both sides. To do that "3" should be added before MgO. 

Second step : After balancing O atoms, there will be 3 Mg atoms in right hand side. Hence to balance Mg atoms again "3" should be added before Mg in left hand side

Third step : as the final step balance the Al atoms by adding "2" before Al in the right hand side.

Then final balanced equation should be 
              3Mg + Al₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Al
