Radioactivity in our world <span>b. is as old as the universe.
</span><span>Radioactive atom spontaneously emits energetic particles or waves, while decays on lighter nuclei (atoms with smaller atomic mass). Radioactivity is used to calculate how old is Earth and living things, for that purpose isotope of carbon is used.</span>

Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions.
Basile [38]
Part 1: Potassium, and Rubidium.
Part 2: Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons because the atomic number for calcium is 20 and that determines how many protons there are and in an atom, the number of protons is the same number of electrons. Calcium has about 20 neutrons. I got the number of Neutrons by subtracting the mass number(40.078) and the atomic number(20), I got 20.078. Round to the nearest whole number because you cannot have half or partial neutron. So, Calcium has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20 neutrons,

Hope this helps and please mark as brainliest!

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.

The following mechanism has been proposed for the conversion of tert-butyl bromide to tert-butyl alcohol in aqueous solution: st
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.

The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.

Net equation of the reaction is;

(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-

The intermediate here is the carbocation,  (CH3)3C^+

Determine the location of the last significant place value by placing a bar over the digit.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

8,040  

0.0300  

699.5  

2.000 x 102

0.90100  

90, 100  

4.7 x 10-8  

10,800,000.0  

3.01 x 1021

0.000410

Explanation:

First remember the following rules of determining the last significant place value :

1. The digits from 1-9 are all significant and zeros between significant digits are also significant.

2.  The trailing or ending zeroes are significant only in case of a decimal number otherwise they are ignored. However starting zeroes of such a number are not significant.

Now observing above rules, lets determine the location of the last significant place value of each given example. I am determining the location by turning the last significant place to bold.

1) 8,040

8,040

Location of the last significant place value is 3 and bar is over last significant digit that is 4. Number is not decimal so ending zero is ignored. Every non zero digit is a significant.

2)  0.0300

0.0300

Location is 3 and bar is over 0. Number has a decimal point so ending zero is not ignored but starting zeroes are ignored.

3) 699.5

699.5

Location is 4 and bar is over 5.

4) 2.000 x 10²

2.000 x 10²

Location is 4 and bar is over 0. This is because the number is decimal so trailing zeroes cannot be ignored. Also if we convert this number it becomes:

200.0 so last significant digit is 0 and location of last significant digit is 4.

5) 0.90100

0.90100

Location is 5 and bar is over 0. This is because in a number with decimal point starting zeroes are ignored but trailing zeroes after decimal point are not ignored. So we count from 9 and last significant digit is 0.

6) 90, 100

90, 100

Location is 3 and bar is over 1. This is because it is not a number with decimal point. So the trailing zeroes are ignored. The count starts from 9 and last significant is 1.

7) 4.7 x 10⁻⁸

4.7 x 10⁻⁸

Location is 2 and bar is over 7. This is because the starting zeroes in a number with a decimal point are ignored. So the first digit considered is 4 and last significant digit is 7. If we expand this number:

4.7 x 10⁻⁸ =    0.000000047 = 0.000000047

Here the starting zeroes are ignored because there is a decimal point in the number.

8) 10,800,000.0

10,800,000.0

Location is 9 and bar is over 0.  Number has a decimal point so ending zero is not ignored and last significant figure is 0.

However if the number is like:

10,800,000. Then location would be 8 and bar is over 0.

9) 3.01 x 10²¹

3.01 x 10²¹

Location is 3 and bar is over 1. Lets expand this number first

3.01 x 10²¹ = 3.01 x 1000000000000000000000

                  = 3010000000000000000000

So this is the number:

3010000000000000000000

Since this is number does not have a decimal point so the trailing zeroes are ignored. Hence the count starts from 3 and the last significant figure is 1

10) 0.000410

0.000410

Location is 3 and bar is over 0. This is because the number has a decimal point so the ending zero is not ignored but the starting zeroes are ignored according to the rules given above. Hence the first significant figure is 4 and last significant figure is 0.
