<span>Let x = amt of distilled water
:
A simple equation
.25(16) = .10(x+16)
4 = .10x + 1.6

4 - 1.6 = .1x
2.4 = .1x
x = 2.4/0.1
x = 24 oz of distilled water
:
:
Prove this by seeing the amt of antiseptic is the same (only the % changes)
.25(16) = .10(24+16)
4 = .1(40)

Answer: 24 oz

Explanation:

According to concentration equation:

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where C_1= concentration of ist solution

V_1= Volume of ist solution

C_2= concentration of 2nd solution

V_2= volume of 2nd solution

25\%16oz=10\%V_2

V_2=40oz

Thus to make the volume of 16oz to 40oz, she must add (40-16)oz=24 oz

Give an example of a substance that is MORE dense in its solid state when compared to its liquid state.
Natalka [10]

Answer: Wax

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Usually solids are more denser than liquid, as molecules in solid are more strongly packed and thus have more mass per unit volume.

Liquids on the other hand contain molecules which are less tightly bound and thus thus contain less mass per unit volume as compared to solid.

Example: Solid wax is more denser than liquid wax.

A depression that receives more water then is we will exist as a stream for a long period of time
Anvisha [2.4K]

The answer is the lake.


A lake is a large expanse of terrestrial water, consisting of streams that are linked to the lake. Although some dimensions of some salt-water lakes are considered island seas; they are therefore distinct from the lagoons, and are larger and deeper than the ponds, while remaining a water body by definition.

A 1M solution is made of each item in a pair. When would this combination create a buffer? Chose the pairs below that you could
monitta

Answer:

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO.

Explanation:

A buffer system may be formed in one of two forms:

  • A weak acid with its conjugate base.
  • A weak base with its conjugate acid.

Chose the pairs below that you could use to make a buffered solution.

a. HCI/NaOH. NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO. YES. HCOOH is a weak acid and HCOO⁻ (coming from NaHCOO) is its conjugate base.

c. HNO₂/H₂SO₃. NO. Both are acids and they are unrelated to each other.

d. NaNO₃/ HNO₃. NO. HNO₃ is a strong acid.

What is the charge of an atom after it gains an electron during the formation of a bond?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

<em>D. One negative charge</em>

Explanation:

During the formation of a bond, if an atom gains an electron, after that it will be left with a negative charge compared to the atom before the bond is formed. This is because in these types of bonds, which are <em>ionic bonds</em>, there is a <em>transfer of electrons between atoms</em>, there will be one or more atoms that yield electrons that will be captured by another and other atoms that gain them, and the difference of charges produced by this transfer of electrons, will cause the union to occur due to the attraction between electrostatic forces.

If you have a neutral atom before joining, and it gains an electron to form a bond,<em> it will have one electron more than its initial state</em> (in the initial state, the number of protons and electrons is the same, because the atoms they are electrically neutral), so having an extra electron will make it have a negative charge, since there will be a difference between the number of protons and electrons that the atom possesses. <em>This is why the correct answer is D. </em>

In the case of <em>response A and B</em>, <em>the atom could only remain positively charged if it loses electrons</em>, but as in this case it wins, <em>they are not correct</em>.

<em>The answer C is also not correct</em> because only one electron wins, so that it is left with two negative charges, <em>it should gain two electrons during the bond formation.</em>
