A drop of iquid mercury is D. <span> a pure substance and an element. This is because mercury is an element which exists as liquid in the normal or standard conditions. It is a metal that is toxic to all environments. It is pure because it is composed only of one kind of substance.</span>

Answer: D) a pure substance and an element

Explanation:

Mercury is an element which is composed of similar atoms and is a pure substance.

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Mixtures are impure substances and are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answers:

A) 2040 kg/m³; B) 58 600 km

Explanation:

A) Density

V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3} = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi\times (\text{1150 km})^{3} = 6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}

\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{1.3\times 10^{22} \text{ kg} }{6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}}\times (\frac{\text{1 km}}{\text{1000 m}})^{3} = \text{2040 kg/m}^{3}

<em>B) Radius</em>

\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{5.68\times 10^{26} \text{ kg} }{687 \text{ kg/m}^{3} }= 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}

V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3}

r^{3} = \frac{3V }{4 \pi }\

r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3V }{4 \pi } }

r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3\times 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}{4 \pi } }= \sqrt [3]{ 1.974 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}= 5.82 \times 10^{7} \text{ m}=\text{58 200 km}

Consider the data presented below. time (s) 0 40 80 120 160 moles of a 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020 part a part complete determ
Whitepunk [10]
To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows 
time         0         40        80       120       160
moles    0.100   0.067  0.045    0.030    0.020


Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
      = -d[A] / t
      = - (0.067-0.100)/40s
      = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
      = -(0.045-0.067)/40
      = 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
      = -(0.030-0.045)/40 s 
     = 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ   -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation. 
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is 
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
   = 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Which description is true of 0.02 M Ca(OH)2 if Ca(OH)2 completely dissociates in water? A. It’s a dilute strong acid. B. It’s a
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: B. It’s a dilute strong base.


Explanation:


1) Definition of acids and bases: as per Bronsted-Lowry model, an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions and a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.

Ca(OH)₂ does not have hydrogen ions to donate, but it can accept hydrogen ions to form H₂O according to this equation: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.

Hence,  Ca(OH)₂ is a base.


2) Definition of strong base: a strong base is a base that dissociates completely into metallic and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions, while a weak base dissociates partially.


Hence, Ca(OH)₂ is a strong base.


3) Definition of dilute: it refers to a solution meaning that the substance is not pure and the concentration is low. Since, the solution the Ca(OH)₂ is 0.02 M means that it is dilute.


Therefore, we have found that the description of 0.02 M Ca(OH)₂ is that is is a dilute strong base (option B).
