A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.
A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,
The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.
Basalt is more dense than granite because granite is made of lighter mass.
They eat autotrophs, or each other. That's how they get energy.
Hope that answered your question.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
the H2O2 under go reduction to remove O2 and then forms water
Heat = mass * heat capacity of water * change in temperature
mass = 5.25 g
heat capacity of water = 4.186 joule/gram °C
Change in temperature = 62.8°C - 5.3°C = 57.5 °C
Plug in the values
heat = 5.25 g * 4.186 joule/gram °C * 57.5 °C = 1263.6 J
Rounded to two three significant figures, it is 1260 J of energy needed.
In terms of calories, the heat capacity of water is 1 calorie/gram °C. So do the plugging in all over again.
mass = 5.25 g
heat capacity of water = 1 calorie/gram °C
Change in temperature = 62.8°C - 5.3°C = 57.5 °C
heat = 5.25 g * 1 calorie/gram °C * 57.5 °C = 301.9 calories
Rounded to 3 significant figures, it is 302 calories
Q=SM∆T=4.18*5.25*(62.8-4.3)=1280 J
1280 J * (1 cal/4.18 J) = 307 cal
