Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance

1 answer:

8 0

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".

It states a key concept in chemistry.

A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.

This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.

During chemical reactions some chemical bonds are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.

Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

a bicycle travels at a velocity of -2.33 m/s and has a displacement of -58.3 m. how much time did it take?

Alexandra [31]

We know that velocity is equal to the total displacement of an object over time.
$velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$
Deriving from that equation, we can say that:
$t = \frac{d}{v}$
Okay, so here it goes:
$t = \frac{58.3m}{2.33 \frac{m}{s} } \\ t = 25.02s$
The bicycle took 25.02 seconds to displace at 58.3 meters.

Please help me with this question :

aalyn [17]

Answer:

514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

602.93 nm ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

Explanation:

A) wavelength of visible light that is most strongly reflected from a point on a soap

refraction n = 1.33

wall thickness (t) = 290 nm

2nt = (2m +1 ) ∝/2 -----equation 1

note when m = 0

therefore ∝ = 4nt/ 1 = 4 * 1.33 * 290 = 1542.8nm we will discard this

when m = 1

equation 1 becomes

∝ = 4nt/3 =( 4 * 1.33 * 290) / 3 = 1542.8 / 3 = 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

B) the wavelength when the wall thickness is 340 nm

∝ = 4nt / 2m +1

where m = 1

∝ = (4 * 1.33 * 340 ) / 3 = 1808.8 / 3 = 602.93 nm ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

If the coefficient of static friction is 0.357, and the same ladder makes a 58.0° angle with respect to the horizontal, how far

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: d= 0.57* l

Explanation:

We need to check that before ladder slips the length of ladder the painter can climb.

So we need to satisfy the equilibrium conditions.

So for ∑Fx=0, ∑Fy=0 and ∑M=0

We have,

At the base of ladder, two components N₁ acting vertical and f₁ acting horizontal

At the top of ladder, N₂ acting horizontal

And Between somewhere we have the weight of painter acting downward equal to= mg

So, we have N₁=mg

and also mg*d*cosФ= N₂*l*sin∅

So,

d= $\frac{N2}{mg}*l$ * tan∅

Also, we have f₁=N₂

As f₁= чN₁

So f₁= 0.357 * 69.1 * 9.8

f₁= 241.75

Putting in d equation, we have

d= $\frac{241.75}{69.1*9.8} *l$ * tan 58

d= 0.57* l

So painter can be along the 57% of length before the ladder begins to slip
