Answer:

The correct option is;

a. The particles will gain a large amount of kinetic energy

Explanation:

As the water temperature reaches 100°C, which is the boiling point for water at atmospheric pressure, the continued heating is then used to break up the strong inter molecular forces between molecules of the water such that the individual molecules are free to move about and due to the high temperature, have gained considerable amount of kinetic energy for the to rise to appreciable height and to also spread.

The heat which converts water into steam is called latent heat as during the boiling phase, the temperature of the water remains constant.

If we start with 8000 atoms of radium-226 how much would remain after 3200 years?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.

Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years

Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

= 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

= 8000 × 0.25

= 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

State the difference between sugar in water and pebbles in water

Usimov [2.4K]

Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas. They will slowly dissolve in water. Pebbles are solids. They will sit in water for a long time. Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.

How many grams of P4O10 would be produced when 0.700 mole of phosphorus is burned?

AysviL [449]

We can solve the equation and show the solution below:

Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.

We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol

Solving for the grams:

0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6

The answer is 113.6 grams.
