Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.

The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.

To titrate 45.00 milliliters of an unknown HCl sample, use 25.00 milliliters of a standard 0.2000 M NaOH titrant. What is the mo
gtnhenbr [62]
V ( HCl ) = 45.00 mL in liters : 45.00 / 1000 => 0.045 L

M ( HCl ) = ?

V ( NaOH ) = 25.00 / 1000 => 0.025 L 

M ( NaOH) = 0.2000 M

number of moles NaOH :

n = M x V = 0.2000 x 0.025 => 0.005 moles of NaOH

Mole ratio:

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

1 mole HCl ---------- 1 mole NaOH
? mole HCl ---------- 0.005 moles NaOH

moles HCl = 0.005 x 1 / 1

= 0.005 moles of HCl :

M ( HCl ) = n / V

M ( HCl ) = 0.005 / 0.045

= 0.1111 M

hope this helps!

Help! Need it ASAP!<br> Is steam and vapour different? If they are then how are they different?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water vapor is when water molecules are present in the air, while steam is water heated to the point that it turns into gas. In simplified science, both are referred to as the gaseous state of water. Steam is usually white or translucent in nature, while water vapor can be clear or translucent.

Steam is simply, water vapor. Hence, the key difference between steam and vapor is that steam is the gaseous state of water whereas vapor is the gaseous state of any substance. Moreover, steam is typically invisible while the vapor of some substances is colorful.
