sample will remain after 20 years?
A. 10.0 g B. 12.5 g C. 40,0 g D. 50.0 g
_c___ 8. Scientist Henri Becquerel observed that some minerals, such as potassium
uranyl sulfate, could release energy when placed on a photographic plate
wrapped in black paper. Becquerel concluded that the potassium uranyl sulfate
absorbed energy from the sun and then released the energy to expose the

CHEMISTRY 1 (STEM II) 1

 photographic plate. Later Becquerel proposed an alternate explanation for the
same experiment: the uranium in potassium uranyl sulfate released energy
without energy being absorbed from the external sources.
Which statement BEST explains why Bequerels later explanation was more
likely to be accurate?

A. Becquerel was considered the best scientific thinker of the time.

B. Becquerels peers reasoned that his explanation was scientifically sound.
C. Experiments showed that a sample of the uranium could expose a
photographic plate even if it was kept in a dark place.
D. Scientists were unable to determine the mechanism by which uranium could
absorb and release solar energy.

with an excess oxygen?
A. 51 grams B. 54 grams C. 64 grams D. 110 grams

_c___ 11. The measuring tools are shown.

CHEMISTRY 1 (STEM II) 2

 What is the MOST appropriate tool for measuring 30.0 mL of a sodium chloride
solution?
