Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. This process changes the atom to a different element or a different isotope

how many moles of potassium hydroxide are needed to completely react with 1.73 miles of aluminum sulfate according to the follow
Masteriza [31]
<h3><u>Answer; </u></h3>

=10.38  moles KOH  

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The balanced equation.  

6KOH + Al2(SO4)3 --> 3K2SO4 + 2Al(OH)3  

From the equation;

1 mole of aluminum sulfate requires 6 moles of potassium hydroxide.  

Moles of Aluminium sulfate;  1.73 moles

Moles of KOH;

1 mol Al2(SO4)3 : 6 mol KOH = 1.73  mol Al2(SO4)3 : x mol KOH  

Thus; x =  (6 × 1.73)

              <u> =10.38 moles KOH </u>

garri49 [273]

Answer: Natural selection.

Explanation:

The natural selection is the process by which the organism that best suits the characters will survive and the organism which cannot adapt the changes will die.

The predators feed on their prey and the organism which hides easily in the environment due to its color is safe and the animals that cannot camouflage will die.

This is natural selection that more favored character is carried out over generations and other that cannot survive die.

Calculate the pH of a solution created by placing 2.0 grams of yttrium hydroxide, Y(OH)3, in 2.0 L of H2O. Ksp for Y(OH)3 is 6.0
oee [108]

Answer:

pH = 8.314

Explanation:

  • Y(OH)3(s) ↔ Y+  +  3OH-

equil:   S               S         3S

∴ Ksp = [ Y+ ] * [ OH- ]³ = 6.0 E-24

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = ( S )*( 3S )³

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = 27S∧4

⇒ 2.22 E-25 = S∧4

⇒ ( 2.22 E-25 )∧(1/4) = S

⇒ S = 6.866 E-7 M

⇒ [ OH- ] = 3*S =2.06 E-6 M

⇒ pOH = - Log [ OH- ]

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 2.06 E-6 )

⇒ pOH = 5.686

∴ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 8.314

An experiment reveals that 125.0 grams of an unknown metal increases in temperature from 22.0 oC to 43.6 oC upon absorbing 640 j
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

                     Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

                      Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  640 J

           m  =  mass  =  125 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  <u>??</u>

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  43.6 °C  -  22 °C  =  21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

                                Cp  =  640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

                                Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
