In an experiment, what is the purpose of the control group?

A control group is the comparison group that helps to "make sure your experiment works." A control group is separated from the rest of the experiment and nothing happens to it kinda like a controlled variable. Controlled variables are the variables in a experiment that remains the same for example a temperature, time, type of products, etc..

Hope this helps!

Why are silver, lead, and mercury so special? (why do they always precipitate out and never dissolve) PLEASE BE DETAILED BUT SIM

lara [203]

Silver and lead are special elements, where silver is insoluble in all halogen anions (like AgCl, AgI, AgBr)
and lead is insoluble in sulphates and halogen anions ( PbSO4, PbCl2, etc.)
Mercury is special because it is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature
hope this helps!!

Calculate the moles and grams of solute in each solution. D. 2.0 L of 0.30M Na2SO4. I already have A, B, and C. Thanks!

e-lub [12.9K]

Find the number of moles
C = n / V
C(Concentration) = 0.30 moles / L
V ( Volume) = 2 L
n = ??
n = C * V
n = 0.30 mol / L * 2 L
n = 0.60 mol

Find the molar mass
2Na = 23 * 2 = 46 grams
1S = 32 * 1 = 32 grams
O4 = 16 * 4 = 64 grams
Total = 142 grams / mol

Find the mass
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 0.06 mol
molar Mass = 142 grams / mol
given mass = ???

given mass = molar mass * mols
given mass = 142 * 0.6
given mass = 85.2 grams.

85.2 are in a 2 L solution that has a concentration of 0.6 mol/L

Isotopes that decay with a nuclear break-up and emit a significant amount of energy are said to be ________.

podryga [215]

Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.

Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example $_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}$ and $_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}$ are the two isotopes of Hydrogen ( $_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}$ ).

Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :

Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. $_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_{2}^{4}\alpha$
