An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. he then turns around and follows the path back to

the source of the food. what is his displacement when he arrives back at the food source? 0.00 meters 2.13 meters 4.26 meters 8.52 meters

<span>Answer: 0.00 meters

  Solution:

    Step 1: Define displacement DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."

  Step 2: Understand the question

 Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).

  Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).

   Step 3: Analyze the question

  What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?

  The ant started and ended its journey in the same place.

 While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)

  Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

Determine the charge on each ion in the following compounds, and name the compound. Spelling counts!
lisabon 2012 [21]
I can't really answer his if there is no given. However, there are general rules to follow when naming ionic compounds. For example, if the given compound is written as: MgCl₂. 

There are two elements that we could find: Mg and Cl. The rule is to write the positive ion first, followed by the negative ion. The individual charges of each element is the subscript of the other. Since Cl has a subscript of 2, then Mg has a charge of +2. Since Mg has a subscript of 1, then Cl has a charge of -2.

Finally, the rule of naming the ionic compound is to name the ions individually in order, but you have to take the suffix -ide (if the charge is -1). Thus, the name of the compound is Magnesium Chloride,

Answer the following questions for H2CrO4:
Sholpan [36]

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

<h3>What is a strong acid?</h3>

A weak acid is one that is able to ionize completely in solution. The acid called chromic acid H2CrO4 is not  able to ionize completely in solution.

We know that a buffer is composed of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt hence if the acid H2CrO4 is present in a buffer then the other half must be  salt of the acid.

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

Ethyl alcohol (ch3ch2oh) is/is not soluble in water. 1. is; all organic molecules are soluble in water. 2. is; ethyl alcohol exh
nata0808 [166]
Answer:
            Ethyl alcohol is soluble in water because <span>ethyl alcohol exhibits dipole-dipole and h-bonding interactions with water.

Explanation:
                   Ethyl alcohol and water are miscible in each other because both are polar in nature and "Like dissolves Like".
                   The bond between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, both in alcohol and water are polar in nature and results in intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions between them as hydrogen bonding results when hydrogen atom in one molecule directly attached to highly electronegative atoms like fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen forms interaction with higly electronegative atom of neighbor atom.</span>
