How can a scientist assess whether a pure niobium (nb) sample is responsible for contaminating the lab with radioactivity? test the niobium sample to see whether it now contains other elements. test the niobium sample for the presence of niobium oxide compounds. heat the niobium, and see if the level of radioactivity in the lab increases. place the niobium under pressure, and see if the level of radioactivity in the lab increases.

How is the composition of a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of earth's core?

If you want to create an electrical current, which situation would produce a solution capable of this

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
