Explanation:
Given that,
Magnitude of vector A, |A| = 15
Magnitude of vector B, |B| = 25
We need to find the magnitude of this sum.
The maximum sum of the resultant vector,

The minimum sum of the resultant vector,

So, the magnitude of this sum either 45 or -10.
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects
and testing for decomposition </span>
<span>
In explanation, chemical property is a
characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change
or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in
the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for
decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting
a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how
much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>
The answer is Solvent. The reason is in the wording, 'the substance that does the dissolving.' A solvent does the dissolving, a solute is something that can be dissolved.
Um this doesn't make since to me since you did not clearly state your awnser
