Answer:

chemistry, deposition occurs when molecules settle out of a solution. Deposition can be viewed as a reverse process to dissolution or particle re-entrainment. It is a phase change from the gaseous state to a solid, without passing through the liquid state, also called re-sublimation.

Explanation:

Examples include beaches, deltas, glacial moraines, sand dunes and salt domes. In severely cold temperatures frost will form on windows because the water vapor in the air comes into contact with a window and immediately forms ice without ever forming liquid water.

How are half life and radioactive decay related

hoa [83]

Answer : Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other.

Explanation :

The mathematic relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay :

$N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}$ ................(1)

where,

N = number of radioactive atoms at time, t

$N_o$ = number of radioactive atoms at the beginning when time is zero

e = Euler's constant = 2.17828

t = time

$\lambda$ = decay rate

when $t=t_{1/2}$ then the number of radioactive decay become half of the initial decay atom i.e $N=\frac{N_o}{2}$ .

Now substituting these conditions in above equation (1), we get

$\frac{N_o}{2}=N_oe^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}$

By rearranging the terms, we get

$\frac{1}{2}=e^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}$

Now taking natural log on both side,

$ln(\frac{1}{2})=-\lambda \times t_{1/2}$

By rearranging the terms, we get

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}$

This is the relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay.

Hence, from this we conclude that the Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other. That means faster the decay, shorter the half-life.

Marcela dissolves 80.0 g of ammonium nitrate in 50.0 mL of water at room temperature and notes that the temperature of the solut

seraphim [82]

Answer: The correct answer is A

Explanation:

On addition of the ammonium nitrate to 50 ml of water the temperature decreases which means that reaction between the ammonium nitrate and water is an endothermic reaction.The value of $\Delta H$ is positive for an endothermic reactions.

$\Delta H>0$

Entropy is a degree of randomness of the system.

On addition of the ammonium nitrate to water ammonium nitrate break down into ions which means that entropy is increased.

$\Delta S>0$

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$ (Gibb's free energy)

Since, ammonium nitrate is getting dissolved in water which means that this reaction is spontaneous and $\Delta G$ of spontaneous reaction is negative that is:
