<span>Silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase the hardness and strength of sterling silver. Pure silver is relatively soft and prone to tarnishing so other metals like those that copper is used to reduce tarnishing and act as a solute in sterling silver. Copper is usually soluble in most solvents.</span>

The components of the substance is the solute and the solvent. The one that exists in a larger amount is most referred to as the solvent and the one that is in smaller amount is the solute. Comparing the amounts of the substances, the solute would be the copper.

An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 45 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, h
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.

Explanation:

Length of the base = l

Width of the base  =  w

Height of the pyramid = h

Volume of the pyramid = V=\frac{1}{3}lwh

We have:

Rate at which water is filled in cube = \frac{dV}{dt}= 45 cm^3/s

Square based pyramid:

l = 6 cm, w = 6 cm, h = 13 cm

Volume of the square based pyramid = V

V=\frac{1}{3}\times l^2\times h

\frac{l}{h}=\frac{6}{13}

l=\frac{6h}{13}

V=\frac{1}{3}\times (\frac{6h}{13})^2\times h

V=\frac{12}{169}h^3

Differentiating V with respect to dt:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{12}{169}h^3)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

45 cm^3/s=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times h^2}

Putting, h = 4 cm

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times (4 cm)^2}

=13.20 cm/s

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.

Which of the following compounds has an atom with an unfilled valence shell of electrons? And why?A. H3O+B. BF3C. CH3OHD. NaI
adoni [48]

Answer: BF3

Explanation: boron needs 4 electron to obtain octet and Fluorine has just one. For the valence shell to be completely filled it will have to form BF4- with 4 fluorine atom surrounding it.

Is the specific heat capacity of a substance an intensive or extensive property? Explain.
andre [41]

The specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity.

We can categorize a property of the compound as either intensive or extensive when defining a particular aspect of it. The extent of a drug or compound is a quality that is influenced by the sample size used. However, the intense property is independent of the quantity (we can say that it is independent on the amount of the sample used). One such example of an intensive property is density.

The specific heat capacity of a substance or a compound describes the amount of heat (in Joules) needed to increase the temperature of one gram of the substance by 1 unit.

The specific heat capacity is independent on the amount of substance used, therefore, it is classified as an intensive property of a substance. The specific heat capacity will not depend on the mass of the given substance and it will be a constant value for each substance.

So the specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity, but the heat capacity is extensive, so two grams of liquid water have twice the heat capacitance of 1 gram, but the specific heat capacity, the heat capacity per gram, is the same, 4.184 (J/g.K).

What is the parent isotope when Cl-33 is formed during a beta decay?
zzz [600]

Answer:

33/16 S

Explanation:

In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.

Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.
