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.

Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.
Explanation:
When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.
On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.
When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.
Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.
The answer would be D. The only minerals harder than corundum is diamond.
Answer:
[OH⁻] = 3.34x10⁻³M; Percent ionization = 0.54%; pH = 11.52
Explanation:
Kb of the reaction:
NH3 + H2O(l) ⇄ NH4+ + OH-
Is:
Kb = 1.8x10⁻⁵ = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]
<em>As all NH₄⁺ and OH⁻ comes from the same source we can write: </em>
<em>[NH₄⁺] = [OH⁻] = X</em>
<em>And as </em>[NH₃] = 0.619M
1.8x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.619M]
1.11x10⁻⁵ = X²
3.34x10⁻³ = X = [NH₄⁺] = [OH⁻]
<h3>[OH⁻] = 3.34x10⁻³M</h3><h3 />
% ionization:
[NH₄⁺] / [NH₃] * 100 = 3.34x10⁻³M / 0.619M * 100 = 0.54%
pH:
As pOH = -log [OH-]
pOH = 2.48
pH = 14 - pOH
<h3>pH = 11.52</h3>
Answer:
A. An Atom
Explanation:
An atom is the smallest particle of an element, having the same chemical properties as the bulk element.
