A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water

. The paperclip floats. What happens if the student adds a drop or two of dish soap to the water? Explain your answer.

I believe that adding soap will make the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. Soap is a surfactant, which decreases the surface pressure of the water. The surface strain of water is what upheld the paperclip in the first place, so with the decrease in surface pressure the paper clip will fall.

Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.

2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.

3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.

pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.

In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq) Sn2 (aq)→H2
Sav [38]

Answer:

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

Explanation:

At first calculate the oxidation state of that element which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction.

for SO₄²⁻ the oxidation state of sulphur is +6 and H₂SO₃ the oxidation state of sulphur is +4

So balance equation is

(Reduction)      SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺+ 2e⁻ → H₂SO₃ + H₂O.........................................(1)

(oxidation)        Sn²⁺ → Sn⁴⁺ + 2e⁻ .............................................................(2)

Adding equation 1 & 2

we get

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element <u>which differ in neutron number</u>...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g  --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C   ------------ <u>12.006 g  !!</u>

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams -->  3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g
