Explanation:

There are many kinds of prefixes which are used in the metric system. The most common prefixes that are used are :- mega, centi, milli, nano, kilo, fermi, pico, etc.

<em><u>These are used to designate a subdivision or a multiple of the unit in order to deal with very small numbers or very large numbers . All of these prefixes designate the power of 10. </u></em>

<em><u>For example, kilo represents 1000 of the unit.</u></em>

How would adding the catalyst nitrogen monoxide (NO) affect this reaction?
marin [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A catalyst is defined as the substance which increases the rate of the reaction without actually participating in the reaction.

This substance decreases the activation energy of the reactants, so as to proceed the reaction at a faster rate by increasing their effective collisions.

It does not affect the concentration of the reactants.

For the given reaction:

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

If we add NO, which is acting as a catalyst will increase the rate of the reaction to produce the products which is SO_3

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Identify the independent and dependent variables. Peter is conducting an experiment to see how much salt will dissolve in water
Vlad1618 [11]
Temperature is independent and the amount of salt dissolving in water is dependant. This is because the amount of salt dissolving depends on how low or high the water temperature is

Analysis of Potassium-40 / Argon-40 determines that 37.5% of the Potassium-40 remains and 62.5% has decayed to Argon-40. What is
likoan [24]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

t = 1.95 billion years.

Explanation:

Radioactive decay follows a first order reaction kinetics.

On solving the dynamic equation (the differential equation), this is obtained

C(t) = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

C(t) = amount of radioactive material remaining after time t = 37.5%

C₀ = Initial amount of radioactive material = 100%

t = time that has passed = ?

k = decay constant.

For a first order reaction, the decay constant is related to the half life through the relation

k = (In 2)/T

T = half life = 1.38 billion years

k = (In 2)/1.38

k = 0.5023 per billion years.

C(t) = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

0.375 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.375

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.375 = -0.981

-kt = -0.981

t = (0.981/0.5023) = 1.95 billion years.

Hope this Helps!!!

When an acid like HCl dissociates in water, it essentially is ________.Select one:a. making the water more basicb. raising the p
jeyben [28]

1) Acidic solution. An acidic solution has a high concentration of H+ ions.

2) Basic solution. A basic solution has a high concentration of OH- ions.

3) HCl chemical reaction.

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Cl^-

You can also write it as follows

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

4) pH scale.

When the concentration of H+ is high, the solution is acidic. H+ lowers the pH of the solution.

Option D.
