Answer:

C. It does not participate in a decay series.

Explanation:

From this statement, we can deduce that a radioisotope that forms a stable isotope after it undergoes radioactive decay suggests that it does not participate in a decay series.

  • It could have emitted any form of radioactive particles which can be alpha or beta.
  • We do not know if it has a long or short half life because the value is not given.
  • But since the radioactive decay in one step produces a stable isotope, we can conclude that it did not participate in a decay series.
  • A decay series involves a radioactive decay in multiple steps.

Scientific method quick check

Answer:

Quick you said:

-Purpose/Question

Ask a question.

-Research

Conduct background research. Write down your sources so you can cite your references. In the modern era, a lot of your research may be conducted online. Scroll to the bottom of articles to check the references. Even if you can't access the full text of a published article, you can usually view the abstract to see the summary of other experiments. Interview experts on a topic. The more you know about a subject, the easier it will be to conduct your investigation.

-Hypothesis

Propose a hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect. It is a statement used to predict the outcome of an experiment. Usually, a hypothesis is written in terms of cause and effect. Alternatively, it may describe the relationship between two phenomena. One type of hypothesis is the null hypothesis or the no-difference hypothesis. This is an easy type of hypothesis to test because it assumes changing a variable will have no effect on the outcome. In reality, you probably expect a change but rejecting a hypothesis may be more useful than accepting one.

-Experiment

Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable. It's important to change only one variable for an experiment rather than try to combine the effects of variables in an experiment. For example, if you want to test the effects of light intensity and fertilizer concentration on the growth rate of a plant, you're really looking at two separate experiments.

-Data/Analysis

Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data. Don't throw out data points you think are bad or that don't support your predictions. Some of the most incredible discoveries in science were made because the data looked wrong! Once you have the data, you may need to perform a mathematical analysis to support or refute your hypothesis.

-Conclusion

Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. There is no right or wrong outcome to an experiment, so either result is fine. Accepting a hypothesis does not necessarily mean it's correct! Sometimes repeating an experiment may give a different result. In other cases, a hypothesis may predict an outcome, yet you might draw an incorrect conclusion. Communicate your results. The results may be compiled into a lab report or formally submitted as a paper. Whether you accept or reject the hypothesis, you likely learned something about the subject and may wish to revise the original hypothesis or form a new one for a future experiment.

To answer this question, you will need to write the balanced equation and set up a BCA table. Using appropriate rounding rules,
Elenna [48]

Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

BCA table:

2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Explanation:

Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases

   2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Number of moles of water = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

mass = 2.5 grams

atomic mass= 18 grams

number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,

n = \frac{2.5}{18}

  = 0.13 moles

2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition

so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{0.13}

x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.

moles to gram will be calculated as

mass =number of moles x atomic mass

        = 0.065 x 16

         = 1.04 grams of oxygen.

Use the drop-down menu to complete the statement. The atoms in a ... have a definite volume, but move quickly enough to overcome
finlep [7]

Answer:

Luiquid

Explanation:

The atoms in a liquid state of matter have a definite volume, eventhough they acquire the shape of the container that contains them, the volume will always be the same, while in a solid the shape and volume will remain constant, on the other hand for a gas, the substance will fill the container where it is, having different volumes.

Determine the vapor pressure (atm) of rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) at 20.0 °C. The normal boiling point of isopropanol is 82.3
jeyben [28]
Here we apply the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(P₁/P₂) = ΔH/R x (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

The normal vapor pressure is 4.24 kPa (P₁)
The boiling point at this pressure is 293 K (P₂)
The heat of vaporization is 39.9 kJ/mol (ΔH)
We need to find the vapor pressure (P₂) at the given temperature 355.3 K (T₂)

ln(4.24/P₂) = 39.9/0.008314 x (1/355.3 - 1/293)
P₂ = 101.2 kPa
