Answer:

c. Polystyrene

Explanation:

Caleb wants a synthetic material that is not soluble in water, so it must be a nonpolar material because water is polar.

Cellulose is a nonpolar molecular, but is a natural product;

Nylon is a synthetic compound, but is polar, so it' soluble in water;

Vulcanized rubber is polar and the rubber is a natural compound.

The only compound that he can use is polystyrene, which is insoluble in water and is a synthetic material.

How many elements and atoms are in marble
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists know that there are 6x1023 molecules in a mole - so we have about 0.5x1023 molecules in our marble…and since every silicon dioxide molecule has one atom of silicon and two of oxygen, we have a grand total of 1.5x1023 atoms. That's 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

What would happen to the air pressure on Earth's surface if the density of Earth's atmosphere were to suddenly double?A. The air
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

B. The air pressure would increase 2X

Explanation:

Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height

p = ρ × g × h

Pressure is force per unit area

p = F/a

Density is mass per unit volume

Pressure is directly proportional to density hence, any change in the density of a body directly affects the change in pressure of the body and vice versa.

Why is it important to collect all data during experiments, rather than make inferences of what will happen?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
