It is neither, it is a pure substance.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Alpha decay is given by following general equation,
ᵃₓA → ⁴₂He + ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B
Where;
A = Parent Isotope
B = Daughter Isotope
ᵃ = Mass Number
ₓ = Atomic Number
Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf
The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆B
The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
Answer:
C. Biodiesel made from plant oil.
Explanation:
The type of vegetable oil used in production greatly affects the performance of biodiesel in the winter. The less saturated the fat, the better the performance in winter time. Canola oil works very well for low temperature biodiesel, and palm oil is among the worst for cold weather performance.
Hope this helped!!!
Answer:
c. Many of their bonds are C-C and C-H
Explanation:
The majority of bonds in carbohydrates and lipids( being an organic compound) are C-C and C-H. Like glucose, fructose or galactose ,etc.
These bonds are strong and do require a lot of energy to break. Thus, a lot of energy are required to break carbs and lipids into simpler compounds.Therefore, carbohydrates and lipids have high potential energy.
The correct answer is c.
