Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
It is durable because it is one of the strongest metals and doesn't corrode easily.
Answer:
Newton's third law of motion.
Explanation:
An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest,causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different acceleration. It is based on Newton's third law of motion.
Third law says that, for every action there is an equal; and opposite reaction. Here, action is force applied by ice skater and reaction is motion of skater and sled away from each other with different acceleration.
Answer:
time = 6.67secs
Explanation:
power = workdone( energy) / time
therefore :
Time = workdone / power
time = 500 / 75
time = 6.67secs
Answer:
When observed from Earth, the wavelengths of light emitted by a star are shifted toward the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum because: the star is moving away from planet Earth.
A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that contains a luminous sphere of plasma and bounded together by its own gravitational force.
A redshift can be defined as a displacement (shift) of the spectral lines of celestial or astronomical objects toward longer wavelengths (the red end of an electromagnetic spectrum), as a result of the Doppler effect.
Hence, a redshift is considered to be a subtle change in the color of visible electromagnetic radiation from stars (starlight), as observed from planet Earth.
In conclusion, a redshift occur when observing a star from planet Earth because the star is moving away from planet Earth.
