A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because <span>oxygen is a reactant in combustion and concentration of oxygen is higher in pure oxygen than is in air.
Oxygen concentration in air is approximately 20%, the rest of are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases. Oxygen is oxidazing reactant, that means oxygen give electrons in chemical reactions.

<span>A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because  </span><u>oxygen is a reactant in combustion and concentration of oxygen is higher in pure oxygen than is in air</u>.

Explanation:
                    As splints a basically made up of wood and is used in testing oxidizing gases like oxygen

                                     C  +  O₂  →  CO₂  

Also we know that pure oxygen contains 100% oxygen, while that %age of oxygen in air is only 20.95 %. Therefore, combustion reaction will be much faster in pure oxygen due to high concentration of oxygen.

Which statements accurately describe soap? Select one or more:
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.

B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.

D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.

Explanation:

A. Hard water contains <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.

B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.

C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.

Why is nucleus of an atom charged is negatively charged?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

How humans can improve the negative aspects of soil use FULL SENTENCES 50 POINTS PLEASE HELP
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Using diverse nutrient sources can help maintain soil health. Manure and compost add organic matter as well as an array of nutrients, but using just compost or manure to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop every year can result in excessive phosphorus levels in the soil.
