Question 17:
False; cutting hair would change what it looks like but, braiding it keeps it the same substance it is.
Question 18 :
My best guess would either be A or D. I would lean more towards D because if there are different mixtures then it depends on what you are mixing.
Hope it helps in some way. <3
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material. Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction. Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water. since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water). Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)
I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.
The arrangement of particles that make up an ionic compound would be an ionic lattice type of crystal arrangement. An ionic lattice type of structure will be formed due to many of the ionic bonds formed between the oppositely charged ions of the metal and nonmetal.
The water dissolves the salt because the water molecules are able to interact with the salt-forming particles, called ions. When the water Interacts with the trainers of the salt ions, the solid salt crystal structure Suffers breakdown, until the trainers of the salt ions are completely surrounded by water molecules. At this time the salt is fully dissolved by water.
hope this helps!
