A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott
Kipish [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density (\rho) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

\sf \implies 1.38 =  \frac{14.0}{V} \\  \\   \sf \implies V =  \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\  \\   \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3

\therefore

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³

explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

I performed an experiment and mixed copper nitrate and potassium iodide. When they reacted, they formed a precipitate, even thou
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2

Explanation:

The reaction performed in the experiment is;

2 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI (s) + 4 KNO3 + I2

The iodide ions reduces Cu^2+ to Cu^+ which is insoluble in water hence the precipitate. This is so because iodine is a good oxidizing agent seeing that it requires one electron to fill its outermost shell. Potassium on the other hand is a good reducing agent since it easily looses its one electron.

The oxidation - reduction equation is as follows;

2Cu2^+ + 2e ----> 2Cu^+ reduction half equation

2I^- ----> I2 + 2e. Oxidation half equation

Balanced redox reaction equation;

2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2

What substance is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
TEA [102]
Hey there! :D

Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words) 

So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules. 

I hope this helps!
