How does nuclear decay or radioactive decay occur?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Modern weaponry has increased the number of deaths in wars and violent conflicts.

Asuspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. if one wishes to follow this process by monitoring the release of 14co2, at which positions in the glucose molecule would the 14c label need to be incorporated?
