There are several different insecticides sold at your local home and garden store. They all claim to be safe for use around anim

als and children, but you want to be sure of this safety before you use one of the products at your own home. What would be the best way to be sure of the scientific reliability of these safety claims? Ask an employee of the store for her recommendation. Look up results of tests conducted by environmental agencies. Check for endorsements by celebrities of home-improvement shows. Use the sales records to determine which product is most popular.

Look up results of tests conducted by environmental agencies is the most logical answer in my opinion.

Answer:

The correct answer is "look up results of tests conducted by environmental agencies"

Explanation:

The only way to ascertain/disprove a claim is to conduct an experiment in the light of the claim but in this case, it will be very expensive to carry out experiments on all insecticides claiming to be safe for use around animals and children. The most reliable and cost effective thing to do is to <u>check out environmental agencies and see there results on tests they have independently carried out on these insecticides to make an informed conclusion</u>.

How is heavy water different from natural water
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Instead of normal protium atoms, heavy water consists of two deuterium atoms. Like normal water, heavy water is an odorless liquid at room temperature. Moreover, deuterium, tantamount to protium, is also a stable isotope. This ensures that heavy water is not radioactive

A chemist titrates of a hypochlorous acid solution with solution at . Calculate the pH at equivalence. The of hypochlorous acid
const2013 [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 10.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HClO

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For HClO:</u>

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol

  • <u>For NaClO:</u>

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]

where,

pK_a = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

A cation with a +4 charge has 26 neutrons and 18 electrons. What is the identity of the element?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Titanium has 22 protons

Explanation:  If an atoms donates 4 electrons, it forms cation with charge +4. So original atom have 22 electrons and because atom is neutral, it has 22 protons. Number of neutrons does not matter, there are more neutrons than protons  in heavier atoms.
