Answer:

from the warm object to the cool object

Explanation:

Think of heat as a straight line, and the warmer the object the higher its gradient. Now, if you have cold object is lower in heat energy, the heat energy from the warm object will go down the gradient to the cool object. Note, in conduction, there must a contact between the two objects.

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}$

The mass remaining after 48 h is 1 g.

How could an increase in industrial activity in developing nations contribute to global climate change?

netineya [11]

If there is an increase in industrial activity, that means that more heat will be dissipated to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Industrialization requires fuel to keep the processes on the go. At the end of the pipeline, the combustion of fuel would result to carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere. That's how it is contributing to the global climate change through the greenhouse effect.

Which atom or ion is the largest? A. K B. K+ C. Ca D. Ca2+ E. Li

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

Atomic radii decrease from left to right across a Period.
Atomic radii increase from top to bottom in a Group.
Ionic radii of metal cations are smaller than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.
