Answer:
Explanation:
Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that
²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e ⇒ ²⁰¹₇₉Au
As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).
Answer:
B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.
Explanation:
Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.
Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.
In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.
Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T
where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).
The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the flame has gone out.
Answer:
The answer is 33 .
Explanation:
The mass number of an atom is the atomic mass which consists of proton and neutron. This atom has 16 protons and 17 neutrons so it has a mass of 33 :
proton number + neutron number = nucleon number / atomic mass
16 + 17 = 33
Answer:
If liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which type of solid does it form? Brass is made by melting copper and zinc and physically mixing them. As this alloy is cooled, it forms a solid where the copper and zinc are not chemically bonded together.
Explanation:
Yes this is true because they are able to consume 2 organisms which are plants and animal just like us.
