The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.

A sample of a compound contains ​0.300 mol​ ​of carbon​ and ​1.20 mol​ ​of hydrogen​. What is the ​empirical formula of the comp
Margarita [4]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:

C = ​0.300 mol​ ​

H = ​1.20 mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)

C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1

H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4

The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4

Consider the gold isotope 197Au. How many electrons, protons, and neutrons are in a neutral 197Au atom?
tangare [24]

Answer:

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Explanation:

Step 1: The isotope = 197Au

Step 2: Calculate neutrons, electrons and protons

197 = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Isotopes always have the same proton number ( is the same as the atomic number). For Gold (Au) is this 79.

The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Since we have 79 protons, there are also 79 electrons.

All isotopes of Au have a different number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons = 197 -79 = 118 neutrons

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

What amount of energy is required to change a spherical drop of water with a diameter of 1.80 mm to three smaller spherical drop
Gekata [30.6K]
This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. 

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

Is. Mg(s) --------------&gt; Mg2+(aq) + 2e−<br><br><br><br>oxidation or reduction?​
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Oxidation

Explanation:

Mg loses 2e- for it to gain it's stability hence the reaction above is oxidation

note: Oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gain of electrons
