At the beginning of this lesson, there was a question about two acids. Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, is used in foods and

has few safety concerns. Hydrochloric acid is used in chemistry labs and requires the use of safety goggles and gloves. Why do the safety concerns for these two acids differ?

Acetic acid is a weak acid and an organic compound and as such is not corrosive and therefore is acceptable to be used in food in the form of vinegar whereas hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid (partially derived from rock salt) and it is corrosive and from the author's experience it can be used in dilute form ie 10% by volume to react with limestone as a diagnostic test for that rock type (the limestone fizzes upon reaction with the dilute HCL.

Answer:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, and hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

As a weak acid, acetic acid does not dissociate much. As a strong acid, hydrochloric acid dissociates completely.

The stronger the acid, the more hydrogen ions will be in a solution at a given concentration.

Because they donate hydrogen ions, acids can react with other materials that accept hydrogen ions. A stronger acid will be more reactive than a weak acid at the same concentration.

dsp73

The order of the students from the most reliable to the least reliable is C. Student 4, Student 1, Student 2, Student 3.

<h3>what student has the most reliable data?</h3><h3 />

the student with the most reliable data is the one that has the least variation in their data in the various trials.

this student is therefore student 4.

the next student would be student 1 and student 2 would be the third most reliable.

student 3 has large variations in their trials which makes their data the least reliable.

Q.1-

Given,

mass - 10grams

volume - 24 cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 10/24

density = 0.416 g/cm³

Q.2-

Given,

mass - 700grams

volume - 1100cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 700/1100

density = 0.6363 g/cm³

A gold nugget has a volume of 20.0 cm3 and its density is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of the gold nugget?
salantis [7]
Density * Volume = Mass

Now we substitute the values in.

19.3 g/cm^3 + 20 cm^3 = 386 g

Mass = 386 g

If liquid water is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure, what needs to change in order to change its state of matter?
inn [45]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

State of a substance changes when heat is provided to a substance.

This is because when we heat water then intermoleclar forces present within its molecules tend to break down. Due to this molecules start to move away from each other.

As a result, kinetic energy of molecules increases and they collide rapidly. Hence, solid state of water changes into liquid state and upon excessive heating liquid state of water changes into vapor state.

Thus, we conclude that temperature of water needs to change in order to change its state of matter.
