When does the radioactive decay of a radioisotope stop? Give one example. An unstable isotope continues the decay process until it reaches a stable form. One example is the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14.

Scientific models are based on current knowledge, which can limit their effectiveness when new discoveries are made.

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.

If water vapor with the mass of 35.0 grams is cooled and condensed into water in a closed system such as a closed glass jar, what is the mass of the water after the water vapor completely condenses? a) 34.5 grams b) 35.0 grams c) 35.5 grams d) the mass cannot be determined without knowing the volume
