In many of the steps in the lab, a mixture was centrifuged and then decanted. In general terms, what is accomplished by these st

Answer:

to separate the compounds by gravity

Explanation:

Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.

Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis? 16CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O22C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6
lidiya [134]

Answer:

  • 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

<em>Photosynthesis</em> is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).

So the chemical process may be represented by:

  • <u>Word equation: </u>

        carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen

  • <u>Skeleton equation:</u>

       CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

  • <u>Balanced chemical equation:</u>

       6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

  • <u>Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:</u>

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

A liquid-fueled rocket engine has two liquids, usually called the fuel and the oxidizer. Which two liquids are most commonly use
hammer [34]

Answer:

A liquid-fueled rocket has two liquids (liquids are good because of the density, they need less space than a gas to be stored), such that these liquids are called the fuel and the oxidizer.

These liquids are injected into a system that leads to a combustion chamber, where the liquids are mixed (we need to mix the fuel with the oxidizer to enable the combustion of the fuel) and burned to produce thrust.

Some common examples of oxidizers are liquid oxygen, which may be combined with fuels like liquid hydrogen, liquid methane, kerosene and hydrazine.

Other oxidizers are liquid fluorine (which also can be combined with the fuels liquid hydrogen and hydrazine), nitrogen tetroxide (which can be combined whit kerosene, hydrazine and other fuels) and FLOX-70, which can only be combined with kerosene.

The "most commonly used" may depend on the country and the type of liquid propellant ( petroleum, cryogens, and hypergols)

Such that the most common oxidizer may be liquid oxygen, and the most common fuel the kerosene.

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years. after __________ years, 1/4 of the original amount of cobalt-60 will remain.
cestrela7 [59]
The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years
