Answer:

B.The use of piers and beams to build a strong foundation for a house

Explanation:

Foundation engineering falls under geotechnical engineering which uses both soil and rock mechanics to design the foundation structure of any building so as to avoid overloading of the soil. Foundation engineering is important to ensure stability and prevent lateral movement of the building.

Cancer research is done by cell biologist. Medical professionals help to cure sick people. Chemists study galvanic corrosion.

Answer:

This is google's answer for the last question

Explanation:

The kinetic energy increases as the particles move faster. The potential energy increases as the particles move farther apart. How are thermal energy and temperature related? When the temperature of an object increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles increases.

A balloon contains 2.0 L of air at 101.5 kPa. You squeeze the balloon to a volume of .75 L. What is the pressure of air on the i

Nataly_w [17]

You would use the formula for Boyle's Law:

(P1) (V1) = (P2) (V2)

(101.5) (2.0) = (P2?) (.75)

*P2 = 270kPa (You're allowed 2 significant figures)

P = Pressure

V = Volume

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps

Lithium-6 has a mass of 6.0151 amu and lithium-7 has a mass of 7.0160 amu. The relative abundance of Li-6 is 7.42% and the relat

horsena [70]

Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
= 0.446 + 6.495
= 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu
