Addie3137,

The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. It's function is too "make a skin waterproof it acts as if its a barrier, and it helps give us skin tone." Epidermis also helps us have homeostasis which is how the body keeps cool or warm. Epidermis contains sweat glands which produce sweat once the body reaches it's limit when exposed to heat, and sweating helps keep the body cool.

Hope this helps!

Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no rea
iragen [17]

Answer :

(A) The balanced molecular equation will be:

K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)

(B) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)

(C) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)

(D) The balanced molecular equation will be:

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Explanation :

Molecular equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation where the ionic compounds are expressed in the form of molecules rather than component of ions.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Part A  : potassium carbonate and lead(II) nitrate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)

In this reaction, lead carbonate is an insoluble salt and potassium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part B : lithium sulfate and lead(II) acetate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)

In this reaction, lead sulfate is an insoluble salt and lithium acetate is a soluble solution.

Part C : copper(II) nitrate and sodium sulfide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)

In this reaction, Cuprous sulfide is an insoluble salt and sodium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part D : strontium nitrate and potassium iodide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+SrI_2(aq)

In this reaction, strontium iodide and potassium nitrate are soluble solution.

Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

4. What are the characteristics of<br> the particles of matter?
mojhsa [17]

Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.
