Answer:

0.875 time.

Explanation:

The length of plastic water bottles are bought in the United States every day = (the no. of plastic water bottles are bought every day)(length of each bottle) = (140.0 million bottle)(0.25 m) = 35.0 million meter.

The length of the equator of the earth = 40.0 million meter.

∴ The times can the Earth's equator be circled by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day = (The length of plastic water bottles are bought in the United States every day)/(The length of the equator of the earth) = (35.0 million meter)/(40.0 million meter) = 0.875 times.

Which of these solutes raises the boiling point of water the most?
VMariaS [17]
Raising of the boiling point is a colligative property. That means that it depends on the number of particles dissolved. The greater the number of particles the greater the increase in the boiling point. So, you can compare the effect of these solutes in the increase of the boiling point by writing the chemical equations and comparing the number of particles dissolved: 1)ionic lithium chloride, LiCl(s) --> Li(+) + Cl (-) => 2 ions; 2) ionic sodium chloride, NaCl(s) --> Na(+) + Cl(-) => 2 ions; 3) molecular sucrose, C12H22O11 (s) ---> C12H22O11(aq) => 1 molecule; 4) ionic phosphate, Na3PO4 --> 3Na(+) + PO4 (3-) => 4 ions; 5) ionic magnesium bromide, MgBr2 --> Mg(2+) + 2 Br(-) => 3 ions. <span>So, ionic phosphate produces the greatest number of particles and it will cause the greatest increase of the boiling point.</span><span />

How do scientists distinguish between an element and a compound?
lozanna [386]
An element is just consisted of one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemicals (Ex. Oxygen just has the oxygen molecule)

A compound is when there's a mixture of atoms and can be broken down by chemicals (Ex. NaCl is made up of sodium and chloride atoms)
