Answer: particle size

Explanation:

1. Density is defined as mass contained per unit volume.

If two substances have different densities, the one with higher density sinks in the one with lower density.

2. Magnetism is the property of an object that can attract or repel objects that have a magnetic material like iron inside them.

It is used in separation when one of the material is magnetic.

3. Boiling point is the temperature when liquid converts to gaseous form.

It is used to separate two liquids with different boiling points using distillation.

4. Particle size is used to separate two solids with different sizes. Sand particles are smaller than seashells and thus can be separated using sieve.

2. Determine the molarity of the NaOH solution in each trial. a. Trial 1 Molarity: b. Trial 2 Molarity: 3. Calculate the average

butalik [34]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but...

1) You can calculate the molarity of the NaOH for each trial by following the steps below.

The formula for Molarity (M) is

M = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

where the unit of volume must be in Litres or dm³

The unit of molarity is mol/dm³ or mol/L or molar conc (M)

The final answer must have the unit of molarity

If the number of moles is not provided, look out for the mass of NaOH used and then calculate your number of moles (n) as

n = mass of NaOH used ÷ molar mass of NaOH

Where the atomic mass of sodium (Na) is 23, oxygen (O) is 16 and hydrogen (H) is 1. Hence, molar mass for NaOH is 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

n = mass of NaOH used ÷ 40

2) Average Molarity will be (Trial 1 Molarity +Trial 2 Molarity) ÷ 2

Answer must be in mol/dm³ or mol/L or M

3) Label the volumentric flask containing the NaOH solution with the answer gotten from (2) above

What best describes why a liquid needs a container when a solid does not?

kvv77 [185]

Because if you have a liquid then you need a glass to keep it together and when it is a solid it is already together so you don't need to do anything

When the temperature of a sample of neon gas increases, what else increases? Distance between the atoms Kinetic energy of the at

Allushta [10]

Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.

Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:

$K.E._({avg})=\frac{3RT}{2N_A}$

where, K = Average Kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number

As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.
