Answer:
A Variac or Powermite; gradually; 50-60%.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.
Some of the laboratory apparatus (equipment) used for conducting a chemical reaction are conical flask, Bunsen burner, beaker, tongs, crucible, round bottom flask etc.
In order to heat a round bottom flask in a heating mantle, plug the heating mantle into a Variac or Powermite which is typically used for controlling the level of temperature. Turn the heat up gradually, and do not exceed 50-60% of the maximum output of the device, so as to avoid any electrical issues such as overloading, short-circuit etc.
The safety precautions that must be taken when using a round bottom flask are;
I. A proper inspection of the round bottom flask for cracks, irregularities or any imperfection.
II. Ensure you avoid heating the flask while it is closed.
III. When suspending the round bottom flask on a stand, you should ensure that you use a clamp for stability.
Answer:
the answer you marked is correct
Explanation:
If the element has a charge of +2 it has lost two electrons giving it an overall positive charge making it a cation. In order to find the number of electrons, take the elements atomic number and subtract two since it lost two electrons
Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.
