Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.

Which of these is an indication that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before

A Wisconsin farmer taps a maple tree and collects 200 liters of sap. He determines the sucrose (C12H2011) concentration to be 0.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

6.0 L

Explanation:

Use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2

M1 = 0.075 M

V1 = 200 L

M2 = 2.5 M

V2 = ?

Solve for V2 --> V2 = M1V1/M2

V2 = (0.075 M)(200 L) / (2.5 M) = 6.0 L

Someone please help me!!!!

Double replacement :

2Na₃PO₄+3CaCl₂⇒6NaCl + Ca₃(PO₄)₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

1. A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

2. Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

3. Combination/syntesis : 2 or more reactants combine to form a new compound

4. Decomposition : the reactant is decomposed into 2/more products

If we look at the reaction options available, all of them can be included in the double replacement reaction, but we only choose the reaction from Sodium phosphate and Calcium chloride which leads to options: C because it is balanced (from the number of atoms in the same reactant and product) and is in accordance with the chemical formula of each compound (both products and reactants)
