After Eris was discovered, scientists had to decide whether to count it as a planet. Why did this make them question whether Plu

to should still be counted as a planet?
a
because Pluto and Eris are both space objects
b
because Pluto and Eris were discovered at the same time
c
because Pluto and Eris are very different
d
because Pluto and Eris are very similar

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.

Un buzo que nada en las profundidades despide pequeñas burbujas de aire¿Aumenta disminuye o permanece igual el tamaño de las bur
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Al ascender las burbujas van aumentando de tamaño.

Explanation:

Las burbujas que produce el buzo debajo del agua son pequeñas moléculas de dióxido de carbono gaseoso producto de la respiración del mismo.

Ahora, a medida que las burbujas suben a la superficie, la presión que sufren estas (Presión debido al agua), es menor conforme van ascendiendo debido a la ley de Boyle: A medida que la presión aumenta, el volumen va disminuyendo.

Esto significa que al ascender las burbujas van aumentando de tamaño debido a que la presión que sufren estas es menor que cuando están a mayores profundidades.

<h3>Answer:  b) 0.250 mol</h3>

============================================

Work Shown:

Using the periodic table, we see that

  • 1 mole of carbon = 12 grams
  • 1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams

These are approximations and these values are often found underneath the atomic symbol. For example, the atomic weight listed under carbon is roughly 12.011 grams. I'm rounding to 2 sig figs in those numbers listed above.

So 1 mole of CO2 is approximately 12+2*16 = 44 grams. The 2 is there since we have 2 oxygens attached to the carbon atom.

-------------------

Since 1 mole of CO2 is 44 grams, we can use that to convert from grams to moles.

11.0 grams of CO2 = (11.0 grams)*(1 mol/44 g) = (11.0/44) mol = 0.250 mol of CO2

In short,

11.0 grams of CO2 = 0.250 mol of CO2

This is approximate.

We don't need to use any of the information in the table.

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

Which of the following describes the correct order for relative solubility of minerals in sedimentary rocks?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.

Explanation:

Evaporate minerals are the water soluble minerals which at higher concentration precipitate out and crystallized forming rocks.

example of chemicals present are:

chlorides and sulphates.

Quartz is silica (very less soluble, or insoluble)

Calcite is calcium carbonate, again an insoluble salt.

Thus

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.
