Chemistry

Answer:

If it can change shapes easily.

Explanation:

A fixed volume eliminates gas as a possible state of matter, therefore leaving liquid and solid.

If the substance can easily change shape, it is a liquid. If it cannot change shape, then it is a solid.

Another way to determine the state of matter is through particle movement.

If particles slip past each other, it is a liquid. If particles vibrate in place, it is a solid.

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

The radioisotope phosphorus-32 is used in tracers for measuring phosphorus uptake by plants. The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1
Harman [31]

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days
