Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.
<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>
Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”
Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.
<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>
It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

Answer:
Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g.
Explanation:
Defining Theoretical yield as the quantity of product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It can be expressed as grams or moles.
Equation of the reaction
C6H11OH --> C6H10 + H2O
Moles of C6H11OH:
Molar mass of C6H110H = (12*6) + (1*12) + 16
= 100 g/mol
Mass of C6H10 = 3.8 g
number of moles = mass/molar mass
=3.8/100
= 0.038 mol.
Using stoichoimetry, 1 moles of C6H110H was dehydrated to form 1 mole of C6H10 and 1 mole of water.
Therefore, 0.038 moles of C6H10 was produced.
Mass of C6H10 = molar mass * number of moles
Molar mass of C6H10 = (12*6) + (1*10)
= 82 g/mol.
Mass = 82 * 0.038
= 3.116 g of C6H10.
Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g
Oxygen for complete combustion
The major carbon sources (reservoirs that release more carbon than absorbed) are: deforestation and fossil fuels
The major carbon sinks (reservoirs that absorb more carbon than released) are:
soil, oceans and plants.
When scientists calculate the amount of carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere vs the released the amount of carbon, a large amount is unaccounted for and the total does not add up. This is why scientists believe there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere.
