Answer:
Answer is letter B
Explanation:
The first one is wrong because acids release H+, not bases.
The third one is wrong because the pH is exactly 7, not greater.
The last one is wrong because it is vague and does not fit a neutralization reaction.
Answer: The electron arrangement for gallium is:
Ar 3d10 4s2 4p1
Answer:
The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century.
The basic steps of the scientific method are:
1) investigation
2) hypothesis
3) interpretation
4) conclusions
Answer:
D
Explanation:
There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.
Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.
A. is wrong
Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.
B. is wrong
Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.
C is wrong
Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy
D is correct
Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.
E is wrong
While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.
Answer:
By minimizing the height of the body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy
Explanation:
In hydrostatics, the equilibrium state of a floating body relates to either a maximum or minimum of the potential energy.An equilibrium is stable when the potential energy is minimum.Minimizing the height of the floating body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy attains a stable equilibrium configuration.
