Answer:

Spontaneous and random. Decay is called spontaneous because the occur on their own and are unaffected by external factors like temperature, pressure, and many more. Decay is called random because we cannot determine the rate at which it decays but can only determine the probability of the decay.Oct 21, 2015

What is one factor that contributes to seasons occurring in Pennsylvania?

JulijaS [17]

B. the tilt of the Earth on it's axis

The moon affects the tides by it's gravitational pull on Earth. So the moon has no affect on the earth's seasons. The distance from earth from the sun only affects the ability of Earth to sustain liquid water because earth is in something scientists like to call the "Goldilocks Zone" This has no affect on the seasons. However, the angle at which the sun's light hit the earth does effect seasonal changes and it's tilt does change.

A lead ball is added to a graduated cylinder containing 50.6 ml of water, causing the level of the water to increase to 93.0 mL.

Kamila [148]

42.4 ml is the volume in milliliters of the lead ball if a lead ball is added to a graduated cylinder containing 50.6 ml of water.

<h3>What is a graduated cylinder?</h3>

A tall narrow container with a volume scale is used especially for measuring liquids.

The graduated cylinder contains water

mL is a volume unit.

Water volume = 50.6 ml

The lead ball caused an increase in volume from 50.6 ml to 93.0 mL.

The new volume is the lead ball volume plus the original water volume :

Final volume = Vlead ball+ Water original volume

$93.0 mL= V_(lead ball) +50.6 ml$

$V_(lead ball) = 93.0 mL - 50.6 ml$

$V_(lead ball) = 42.4 ml$

Hence, 42.4 ml is the volume in milliliters of the lead ball.

Given the standard heats of reaction

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

M(s) → M (g ) + 20.1 kJ --- ( 1 )

X₂ ( g ) → 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ---- ( 2 )

M( s) + 2 X₂(g) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ ----- ( 3 )

( 3 ) - 2 x ( 2 ) - ( 1 )

M( s) + 2 X₂(g) - 2 X₂ ( g ) - M(s) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ - 2 [ 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ] - M (g ) - 20.1 kJ

0 = M X₄ (g ) - 4 X (g ) - M (g ) - 773.4 kJ

4 X (g ) + M (g ) = M X₄ (g ) - 773.4kJ

heat of formation of M X₄ (g ) is - 773.4 kJ

Bond energy of one M - X bond = 773.4 / 4 = 193.4 kJ / mole

The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on:

Elden [556K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on the number of molecules in a unit volume and their average kinetic energy, its chemical composition, the altitude about sea level and the number of atoms per molecule. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Which ionic equation describes a redox reaction? A. Ag(+) + Cl- = AgCl B. 2H(+) + CO3(2-) = CO2 + H2O C. H(+) + OH(-) = H2O D. Z

Gennadij [26K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is D. $Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is known as the reaction in which the exchange of electrons takes place.

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.

From the given ionic reactions:

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

<u>On the reactant side: </u>

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Cu = +2

<u>On the product side: </u>

Oxidation number of Cu = 0

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

As the oxidation number of Zn is increasing from 0 to +2. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of Cu is decreasing from +2 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced. Therefore, forming a redox couple

Hence, the correct option is D. $Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$
