Which of the following is a substance: table salt, seawater, or sand? Explain how you know.

1 answer:

6 0

TABLE SALT IS A SUBSTANCE.
In chemistry, a substance refers to a matter which has specific composition and specific properties which do not change. A substance can be an element or a compound. A substance typically has a constant composition, which can not be separated by physical methods.
In the question given above, table salt is an example of a chemical substance because, it has a constant specific composition and its components can not be separated by physical methods.
Seawater and sand are not substances, because they have varied compositions and their components can be separated by physical methods.

Answer:

I would write "terrestrial/lives on land during all life stages" between the frog and pigeon branches

Explanation:

Jaw evolution has started with fish, so i'd place that before the perch, evolution of four limbs is next and I would plate it between the perch and the frog. Evolution of an egg has ensured that organisms remain terrestrial during all stages of life and don't need to rely on water to lay their eggs. So I would place that between the frog and the pigeon. True mammary glands and true hair, as we know it formed on mammals so i'd place that between the pigeon and the rats (although synapsids evolved similar structures long before birds even existed). And lastly, I would place "walking on two legs" between rats and human branches. Because our ancestors evolved bipedalism relatively late.

The metal tantalum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 4.483 K. Calculate the temperature at which tantalum becomes su

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "-268.667°C".

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature,

= 4.483 K (below)

Now,

The formula of temperature conversion will be:

⇒ $T(^{\circ} C)=T(K)-273.15$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=4.483-273.15$

⇒ $=-268.667^{\circ} C$

Thus the above is the correct answer.

True or False. Isotopes have different chemical properties. Explain why?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation: isotopes generally have the same physical and chemical properties because they have the same numbers of protons and electrons.

A gas bubble has a volume of 0.650 mL at the bottom of a lake, where the pressure is

astraxan [27]

Considering the Boyle's law, as the pressure decreases, volume increases and has a value of 2.246 mL.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant.

This law says that the volume occupied by a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure. This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

P×V=k

If an initial state 1 and a final state 2 are analyzed, Boyle's law is expressed as:

P1×V1=P2×V2

<h3>Volume at the surface of the lake</h3>

In this case, you know:

P1= 3.46 atm
V1= 0.650 mL
P2= 1 atm
V2= ?

Replacing in Boyle's law:

3.46 atm× 0.650 mL= 1 atm×V2

Solving:

V2= (3.46 atm× 0.650 mL)÷ 1 atm

Finally, as the pressure decreases, volume increases and has a value of 2.246 mL.
