Answer : Broadly solids are divided into three categories;
i) Crystalline solids have a regular definite structure, in which the particles pack in a repeating pattern from one edge of the solid to the other.
ii) Amorphous solids have a random structure, with little unorganized pattern long-range order.
iii) Polycrystalline solids are those where an aggregate which consists of a large number of small crystals or grains in which the structure is regular, but the crystals or grains are found to be arranged in a random fashion.
Also solids can be divided into 3 more categories according to their bonds;
i) Covalent solids, like diamond, which forms crystals that can be viewed as a single giant molecule made up of an almost endless number of covalent bonds.
ii) Ionic solids are basically salts, such as NaCl, in which the molecules are held together by the strong force of attraction between ions of opposite charge.
iii) Metallic solids are found in metals which have the force of attraction between atoms of metals, such as copper and aluminum, or alloys, such as brass and bronze, are metallic bonds.
Answer:
1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient
(Group B) would be the control group.
2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint
3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)
4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the
amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.
5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.
Answer:
Option D. 230 J
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the temperature change of the iron. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C
Final temperature (T₂) = 75 °C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =?
ΔT = T₂ – T₁
ΔT = 75 – 50
ΔT = 25 °C
Thus, the temperature change of the iron is 25 °C.
Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy used. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (M) = 20 g
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 25 °C
Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.46 J/gºC
Heat (Q) =?
Q = MCΔT
Q = 20 × 0.46 × 25
Q = 230 J
Thus, the amount of heat used was 230 J
2 moles x 6.02 x 10^23 maybe
Answer:
8.61 mL of the HCl solution
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2HCl + Mg(OH)₂ → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
From the given mass of Mg(OH)₂, we can calculate <u>the moles of HCl that are neutralized</u>:
- 4x10² mg = 400 mg = 0.400g
- 0.400g Mg(OH)₂ ÷ 58.32g/1mol = 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂
- 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂ *
3.429x10⁻³ mol HCl
Finally, to calculate the volume of an HCl solution, we need both the moles and the concentration. We can <u>calculate the concentration using the pH value</u>:
= [H⁺]
- 0.0398 M = [H⁺] = [HCl] *Because HCl is a strong acid*
Thus, the volume is:
- 0.0398 M = 3.429x10⁻³mol HCl / Volume
- Volume = 8.616x10⁻³ L = 8.62 mL
