If I am correct, yes. As I was told in chemistry, the surface area affects the dissolving of the "sugar". If you put regular Surat in a hot cup of coffee, it will dissolve at a quick pace, but what if you put the same amount of sugar in the same amour of coffee, but the sugar was fine powder? It would dissolve even faster since it has more surface area. So temperature does affect the dissolving. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy
Explanation:
The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:
⇒ 
total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u
Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.
Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.
The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.
From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.
The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
Answer: option <span>D Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.
Justification:
1) The rate of chemical reactions are affected by: concentration of the reactants, state of the reactants, temperature, and presence of catalizers. So the first part of the statement is true.
2) Nuclear decay rates are constant. The decay depends on the nature of the element but not the conditions. That is why dating fossils with radiactive isotopes is possible. So, the second part of the statement is true.
