Answer:

Planetary orbits are all nearly circular , comet orbits are highly excentric . ... This means that planets stay more or less at the same distance from the sun, while comets travel as far out as beyond Neptune, and can travel as far in as Mercury.

Answer:

Hi. Increased evaporation would be the greatest difference.

Explanation:

Have you ever had a drink in a mug with a lid? When you would remove the lid, all of the liquid on the lid is the liquid that would evaporate if there was no lid.

1.What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us?

lorasvet [3.4K]

1. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
2. Conduction. Putting a pot of water on a hot burner. Convection. Putting your wet shoes over an air vent to dry them quicker. Radiation. Sitting in front of the fire to warm your hands up.
3. renewable sources can be used again and again, but non renewable sources cannot.
4. I would recommend solar energy. I think solar energy should be considered because solar energy can be reused, and also because they can use it to power their houses and they wouldn't need fossil fuels to do so.
5. Turn off the lights and open the windows during the day and if something is left plugged into the wall and it is not being used, unplug it.

hope I could help!

Aqueous solutions of Na2CO3 and Ca(NO3)2, 0.10 M each, are combined. A white precipitate is observed in the container after mixi

anzhelika [568]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Aqueous solutions of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ , 0.10 M each, are combined. A white precipitate is observed in the container after mixing. he precipitate is filtered andcarefully rinsed with distilled water to remove other ions. A sample of the precipitate is added to 100 mL of 0.1 M NaCl. A second sample of the precipitate is then added to 100 mL of 0.1 M HCl. What would be observed in each case?

Observation upon Observation upon

addition of precipitate addition of precipitate

to NaCl(aq) to HCl(aq)

(A) additional precipitates forms no visible reaction occurs

(B) no visible reaction occurs gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves

(D) additional precipitates forms gas is produced and some

precipitate dissolves

Answer: (B) No visible reaction occurs; Gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves

Explanation: When aqueous solutions of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ are combined, it reacts according to the following balanced equation:

$Na_{2}CO_{3}+Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ → $CaCO_{3}_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}$

forming calcium carbonate ( $CaCO_{3}$ ), which, as it is insoluble in water, precipitates as a solid of the color white. This process is Precipitation and this reaction is a Precipitation Reaction.

When calcium carbonate reacts with NaCl it produces:

$CaCO_{3}+2NaCl$ → $CaCl_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3}$

Now, calcium chloride is an inorganic compound very soluble in water, so, in this reaction, there are no precipitate and no visible reaction occurs.

When $CaCO_{3}$ reacts with hydrochloridric acid, the balanced reaction is

$CaCO_{3}+2HCl$ → $CaCl_{2}+H_{2}CO_{3}$

which, also produces calcium chloride and carbonic acid.

Both are soluble in water but, when carbonic acid is in an "aqueous state", carbonic acid, it dissociates, forming carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves.

In conclusion, sentence B is the correct alternative.
