Koby wanted to do an experiment where he could observe a chemical reaction. He decided that he was going to combine baking soda

with water and with vinegar and see whether either one created a chemical reaction.
Koby placed ½ teaspoon of baking soda into each of two identical glasses. He noticed the baking soda was lumpy, so he used a fork to break up the lumps. Why is it important to break up the lumps?

Koby needed to break the baking soda to provide a larger surface area for reaction thereby increasing the rate of reaction.

<h3>Rate of reaction?</h3>

The term rate of reaction refers to how quickly or slowly a reaction proceeds. The surface area of solid reactants is an important factor that influences the rate of reactions when a solid reactant is involved.

Hence, Koby needed to break the baking soda to provide a larger surface area for reaction thereby increasing the rate of reaction.

A 48.3 mL sample of gas in a cylinder is warmed from 22 °C to
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

58.94 mL

Explanation:

V1 = 48.3 mL             V2 = v mL

T1 = 22 degree celsius OR 295 k         T2 = 87 degree celsius OR 360 k

We will use the gas equation:

PV = nRT

Since the Pressure (p) , number of moles (n) and the universal gas constant(R) are all constants in this given scenario,

we can say that

V / T = k , (where k is a constant)

Since this is the first case,

V1 / T1 = k --------------------(1)

For case 2:

Since we have the same constants, the equation will be the same

V / T = k (where k is the same constant from before)

V2 / T2 = k (Since this is the second case) ------------------(2)

From (1) and (2):

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Now, replacing the variables with the given values

48.3 / 295 = v / 360

v = 48.3*360 / 295

v = 58.94 mL

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 58.94 mL

What is the difference between a polar and a nonpolar bond?And how can i figure out if its polar or nonpolar in a bond question?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

If the electronegativity of two atoms is basically the same, a nonpolar covalent bond will form, and if the electronegativity is slightly different, a polar covalent bond will form.

Explanation:

that's your answer very easy.

Which phrase is the best definition for the word common in environmental science?
andreev551 [17]
I believe that the best definition of the word common in environmental science is a typical resource. A typical resource is a resource that is not hard to find and is very common. The answer to the question will hence be A.
The answer could not be the other three choices because a shared resource is a resource that is used by more than one organism in the environment. A worthless resource is one that has no use in the environment while a rare resource is one that is hard to find.

What volume of ethanol (density = 0.7893 g/cm3) should be added to 450. ml of water in order to have a solution that freezes at
AysviL [449]
According to this formula :
ΔTf= i Kf m
i is van't Hoff factor= 1
Kf = 1.86 
m the molality we need to assume it 
m= x moles of C2H5OH / Kg of mass 
∴ 15 = 1 * 1.86 * ( x moles of C2H5OH/ 0.45 kg)
∴X = 3.629 moles 
mass = no.of moles x molar mass of C2H5OH
          = 3.629 X 46 = 167 g 
∴the volume = mass / denisty
                      = 167 / 0.7893 = 211.57≈ 212 mL

What happens when you drop iodine on a leaf?
insens350 [35]
When you drop iodine on a leaf you may observe a colour change of orange/brown to a blue/black complex.

This is because in the leaf there are starch molecules that form a blue/black complex with the starch molecules.

hope that helps :)
