Water is always on the move. Rain falling today may have been water in a distant ocean days before. And the water you see in a river or stream may have been snow on a high mountaintop. Water is in the atmosphere, on the land, in the ocean, and underground. It moves from place to place through the water cycle.
Where's the water?
There are about 1.4 billion km3 of water (336 million mi3 of water) on Earth. That includes liquid water in the ocean, lakes, and rivers. It includes frozen water in snow, ice, and glaciers, and water that’s underground in soils and rocks. It includes the water that’s in the atmosphere as clouds and vapor.
If you could put all that water together – like a gigantic water drop – it would be 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) across.
Answer: It showed that all atoms contain electrons.
Explanation:
- J.J. Thomson's experiments inside a cathode ray tube in the presence of an electric field showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles "electrons".
- Also, Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
- Furthermore, Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny positively-charged nucleus.
- Then, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom based on these results.
It's a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxid ions
Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.
c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.
Explanation:
All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = time taken for decay process
a = initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:
