Becquerel  did not discover that the amount of exposure on the paper was proportional to the amount of uranium that was present in the rocks

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered by the French scientist Henri Becquerel in 1896 when he placed photographic paper in a drawer with some radioactive rocks.

We have to note that Becquerel did not discover that the amount of exposure on the paper was proportional to the amount of uranium that was present in the rocks hence the stetement is false.

An aqueous solution contains 32.7% KCl (wt/wt%). what is the mole fraction of KCl in the solution
inna [77]

The mole fraction of KCl in the solution is 0.1051

calculation

mole fraction of KCl in solution = moles of KCl / total number of moles(moles of KCl +moles of H2O)

moles=mass/molar mass

mass of KCl=32.7g

molar mass of KCl= 39 +35.5

moles of KCl is therefore= 32.7g/74.5 g/mol=0.439 moles

find the moles of H2O= mass of H2O/molar mass

mass of H2O=100-32.7=67.3g

molar mass of H2O=( 1 x2) +16=18 g/mol

moles = 67.3/18 =3.739 moles

total moles=3.739+0.439=4.178 moles

mole fraction is therefore=0.439/4.178=0.1051

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

The vapor pressure of water at 65oC is 187.54 mmHg. What is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol (CH2(OH)CH2(OH)) solution ma
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of water at 65 °C=p_o= 187.54 mmHg

Vapor pressure of the solution at 65 °C= p_s

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution in which non volatile solute is dissolved is equal to mole fraction of solute in the solution.

Mass of ethylene glycol = 22.37 g

Mass of water in a solution = 82.21 g

Moles of water=n_1=\frac{82.21 g}{18 g/mol}=4.5672 mol

Moles of ethylene glycol=n_2=\frac{22.37 g}{62.07 g/mol}=0.3603 mol

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}

\frac{187.54 mmHg-p_s}{187.54 mmHg}=\frac{0.3603 mol}{0.3603 mol+4.5672 mol}

p_s=173.83 mmHg

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

The muscles on the run in transform chemical potential energy into_____
LekaFEV [45]

Mechanical Energy

Mechanism energy is the energy associated with the position and motion of an object. Therefore it is also the summation of the kinetic and potential energies of the object.

Explanation:

Mechanism energy is the energy associated with the position and motion of an object. Therefore it is also the summation of the kinetic and potential energies of the object.

In the muscles, to have movement, the chemical bonds in ATP is broken to enable the sliding action of the myosin and actin fibres of a sarcomere (the basic unit of muscle). This sliding action is responsible for contraction of muscle.  The coordinated contractions and relaxations of sarcomeres on muscles result in movement which translates to mechanical energy.

This process is never 100% efficient with some energy lost as heat energy.
