26. Classify each of the following as a chemical reaction, a nuclear reaction, or neither:
a. Thorium emits a beta particle.
b. Two atoms share electrons to form a bond.
c. A sample of pure sulfur emits heat energy as it
slowly cools
d. a piece of iron rusts.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

Which statement about the stamps is correct?

Why is the vapor pressure of a warm lake higher than the vapor pressure of a cold lake? o a. warm water has a greater heat of vaporization. ob. warm water evaporates more quickly. cool water evaporates more quickly. od. cool water has a greater heat of vaporization.
