Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Moral and ethical beliefs

B. Popular support

C. Compelling evidence

D. Historical support

The answer is C. Compelling evidence

Explanation:

Scientific investigations are used to proffer solutions to problems or answer a question. However, before these scientific ideas can be accepted or rejected, it must be subject to falsifiable testing via experiment.

A hypothetical statement is given to explain a scientific observation, which is subjected to further testing via experimentation. The outcome of the experiment provides a COMPELLING EVIDENCE on which the acceptance or rejection of a scientific idea is based.

Two isotopes of lithium are found in nature Li6 has a mass of 6. 02u and Li7 has a mass of 7.02u . Use the atomic weight of lith
alexandr402 [8]

The isotope that is more abundant, given the data is isotope Li7

<h3>Assumption</h3>
  • Let Li6 be isotope A
  • Let Li7 be isotope B

<h3>How to determine whiche isotope is more abundant</h3>
  • Molar mass of isotope A (Li6) = 6.02 u
  • Molar mass of isotope B (Li7) = 7.02 u
  • Atomic mass of lithium = 6.94 u
  • Abundance of A = A%
  • Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%) / 100] + [(mass of B × B%) / 100]

6.94 = [(6.02 × A%) / 100] + [(7.02 × (100 - A)) / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% / 100] + [702 - 7.02A% / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A%] / 100

Cross multiply

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 6.94 × 100

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 694

Collect like terms

6.02A% - 7.02A% = 694 - 702

-A% = -8

A% = 8%

Thus,

Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Abundance of B = (100 - 8)%

Abundance of B = 92%

SUMMARY

  • Abundance of A (Li6) = 8%
  • Abundance of B (Li7) = 92%

From the above, isotope Li7 is more abundant.

Answer: devices are powered by moving water and are different from traditional hydropower turbines in that they are placed directly in a river, ocean or tidal current. They generate power only from the kinetic energy of moving water (current).

Conduction is a method of energy transfer within Earth’s systems. Describe an example of conduction, including where the energy
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy from one molecule to another within an object. Conduction also happens between two objects in direct contact if they have different temperatures. The hotter molecule vibrates because of the added heat. This vibration and movement transfer the energy to the surrounding molecules. The transfer of energy continues until all the molecules have the same temperature.

Conduction takes place in solids, liquids, and gases. However, it happens fastest in solids because the molecules in solids are closely packed.

For which of the following transitions would a hydrogen atom absorb a photon with the longest wavelength?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Hence among the options a and c, option d is that the correct answer because it has rock bottom energy ( as n value increases, energy decreases as energy levels come closer).

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is:

\Lambda = hC/E  

From this equation, it's clear that wavelength and energy are inversely proportional to every other. The Lower the energy of a specific transition, the longest will the wavelength be of that specific transition.  

Among the given options, options b and d are often ruled out, since those transitions produce to release of a photon because it is coming down from an excited state.
