Yes that would float in water
Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?
A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.
The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
Answer:
54 days
Explanation:
We have to use the formula;
0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A
Where;
t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days
t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value
Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32
A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t
Note that;
A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)
Substituting values;
0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao
0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734
0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t
0.048=2.6/t
t= 2.6/0.048
t= 54 days
Reaction Rate is the rate at which a substance undergoes a chemical change.
