arlik [135]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Thermal decomposition

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate can be broken  down by heating. The following equation represents this chemical change.

CaCO₃(s) ⇒ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

The scientific term for this process is thermal decomposition.

  • Thermal refers to the fact that heat is required.
  • Decomposition refers to the kind of reaction in which a big substance breaks down into smaller substances.

Hi, what is the difference between Elliptic and ecliptic? Thanks
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

An ecliptic is the trajectory drawn by the race of the Sun on the celestial vault. This is the geocentric point of view, seen from the Earth.

An eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through this plane (in two points, called nodes), precisely at the time of the New Moon or Full Moon. The Sun, the Earth and our satellite are then aligned. In the first case, it will be a solar eclipse (the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun). In the second, it will be a lunar eclipse

Your lab partner accidentally spills some acid on his wrist and watchband. You should: (Check all that apply.)
nordsb [41]

Answer: Remove the watch and watchband immediately, and rinse his wrist for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. Let the TA inspect his wrist to see if it is okay.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, the choices are:

a. Take him to the safety shower, and make sure he stands under it for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. b. Remove the watch and watchband immediately, and rinse his wrist for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. c. Let the TA inspect his wrist to see if it is okay.

d. Rinse the watch band before allowing him to put it back on.

An acid is traditionally considered to be any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, produces a solution with greater hydronium cation activity than pure water, i.e., a pH less than 7. Both corrosive acids (and also corrosive bases) <u>are capable of destroying skin</u> by catalyzing the hydrolysis of fats, which are chemically esters. Also, when acids attack metals, hydrogen gas is often released.

This is why your lab partner should remove the watch and watchband immediately, and rinse his wrist for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. This ensures that the acid is can not damage the skin. And also the person should make sure that someone qualified checks it to see if it is okay.
