Answer: The beaker in which water level has decreased more is the one that contains pure water.
Explanation: Even when water is not heated it can evaporate, that is because molecules move at different speed and those that are closer to surface can break the gass pressure and scape as water vapor.
The movement of molecules of water can be affected by the presence of solutes (salts or other soluble compounds) and increase the evaporation temperature. For this particular case, molecules of salt atract the water molecules (remember salt has ions and water is a dipole with partial charges) and do not let the water move freely which avoid them to scape to the surface.
Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.
Answer:
Mathematically, symmetry means that one shape becomes exactly like another when you move it in some way: turn, flip or slide. ... There are three basic types of symmetry: rotational symmetry, reflection symmetry, and point symmetry.
Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration or nuclear disintegration) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay (-decay), beta decay (-decay), and gamma decay (-decay), all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons. The weak force is the mechanism that is responsible for beta decay, while the other two are governed by the usual electromagnetic and strong forces.[1]
