A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to find trends.

(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.

(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.

(c), watching ice float on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.

(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative <span>observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.</span>

Which of these household items is powered by alternating current?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

C. Hair dryer

Explanation:

Alternating Current

The other kind of electricity is called alternating current, or AC. Power plants produce this

type of electricity. It is carried by large power lines from the plant to your home. When you

plug a TV, a lamp, or a hair dryer into the wall socket, you are using this type of electricity.

FrozenT [24]
Let x represent the total distance around the track
Jason's distance: (5/7)x
Sara ran (4/5) of Jason's distance,
so she ran (4/5)*(5/7)x = (4/7)x
Sara ran 4/7 of the total distance

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Given: the melting point of HCl is

-114.8 °C, which suggests that below this temperature HCl will be solid.

and, since the boiling point of HCl is - 85.1 °C. It is also suggested that above this temperature HCl will be gas, Therefore.

Solid -114.8  - Ordered arrangement

Liquid -85.1c  - Less orderly arranged

Gaseous - Least orderly arranged

Thus, at —90 °C, HCl will be present 'in the liquid state,  At — 1 °C, HCl will be present in the gaseous state and at -129 °C, HCl will be present in the solid-state. So, the molecules will be organized in a more orderly manner .

Thus, the correct answer is - option C

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca 2 + ( aq ) and 0.0390 M Ag + ( aq ) . What will be the conce
levacccp [35]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca^{2+}(aq) and 0.0390 M Ag^{+}(aq). What will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate? What percentage of the Ca^{2+}(aq) can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

      Ag_{2}SO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

[Ag^{+}] = 0.0390 M

When Ag_{2}SO_{4} precipitates then expression for K_{sp} will be as follows.

         K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]

        1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]

       [SO^{2-}_{4}] = 0.00788 M

Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

         CaSO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

      K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]

     4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788

           [Ca^{2+}] = 0.00625 M

Now, we will calculate the percentage of Ca^{2+} remaining in the solution as follows.

               \frac{0.00625}{0.05} \times 100

                 = 12.5%

And, the percentage of Ca^{2+} that can be separated is as follows.

                     100 - 12.5

                     = 87.5%

Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate.
