Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.

If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.

However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.

It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).

In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).

The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

Calculate h3o+ in an aqueous solution that is 0.10M NaNO2 and 0.055M HNO2
SSSSS [86.1K]
Answer is: concentration of hydronium ions is 8.13·10⁻⁴ M.<span>
c(HNO</span>₂) = 0.055 M.<span>
c(NaNO</span>₂) = 0.10 M.<span>
Ka(HNO</span>₂) = 4.5·10⁻⁴.<span>
This is buffer solution, so use Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: 
pH = pKa + log(c(NaNO</span>₂) ÷ c(HNO₂)).<span>
pH = -log(4.5·10</span>⁻⁴) + log(0.055 M ÷ 0.10 M).<span>
pH = 3.35 - 0.26.
pH = 3.09.
</span>[H₃O⁺<span>] = 10</span>∧(-3.09).
[H₃O⁺] = 8.13·10⁻⁴ M.

Write a balanced equation for the nuclear reaction in which neon-23 decays to form sodium-23
Bond [772]

Explanation:

The nuclear reaction is a radioactive decay by the emission of a beta particle.

Beta emission increases the mass number of a nuclei.

A beta particle is a particle that closely resembles an electron. When a particle decays by emitting beta particles, the mass number remains the same but the atomic number increases.

Beta particle is designated as    °₋₁β

     ²³₁₀ Ne    ⇒     ²³₁₁Na   +  °₋₁β   + energy

Question 3 (please help)
poizon [28]

Answer:

the Answer is B

Explanation:

If resources are being used faster than they are being replenished, then the species has exceeded its carrying capacity. If this occurs, the population will then decrease in size. Every stable population has one or more factors that limit its growth. A limiting factor determines the carrying capacity for a species.

hope this helps have a good day :)

Luisa has two older brothers and a younger sister. She had been learning about how to describe the ages of rocks. After thinking
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

c. relative age

Explanation:

Relative age is a method of describing the age of rocks based on their order of appearance in the geologic column.

Events are denoted by their position in the column.

  • The premise of most of the assumptions used relative age determination is based on stratigraphic laws.
  • Absolute age gives numeric ages to rocks.

Since Luisa is comparing the age of people based on their position in her family, she is using the concept of relative dating.

A balloon filled with air has a volume of 0.500 L at 25.0 ºC and an internal pressure of 1.20 atm. What will the volume of the b
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

0.441 L

Explanation:

At constant pressure, Using Charle's law  :-

\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 0.500 L

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 25.0 °C

T₂ = -10.0 °C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

T₂ = (-10 + 273.15) K = 263.15 K  

Using above equation as:

\frac{0.500}{298.15}=\frac{V_2}{263.15}

V_2=\frac{0.500\cdot \:263.15}{298.15}

<u>New volume = 0.441 L</u>
