A scientific theory focuses on explaining a phenomenon, while a law will have a generalised statement about said phenomenon. Often times, we use laws to help us develop theories. =)
Answer:
16.933g approximately 17.0 grams
Explanation:
From the simple promotions and given the same compound ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
In the laboratory synthesised ascorbic acid
Mass of carbon = 30.0g
Mas of Oxygen = 40.0g
That is the mass of Oxygen per unit mass of Carbon
Per gram of Carbon we have
(30.0g Carbon)÷30 combines with (40.0g of Oxygen)÷30
That is 4/3g of Oxygen per gram of Carbon
Hence the mass of Oxygen compound that combines with 12.7g of Carbonin natural occurring ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is = 4/3×12.7 = 16.933g approximately 17.0g
<u>Answer:</u> The wavelength of spectral line is 656 nm
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

Where,
= Wavelength of radiation
= Rydberg's Constant = 
= Final energy level = 2
= Initial energy level = 3
Putting the values in above equation, we get:

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

So, 
Hence, the wavelength of spectral line is 656 nm
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.
