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.

The boiling point of water is 1000C.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.

What volume of 0.08892 M HNO3 is required to react completetly with 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.0303 Liters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the potassium hydrogen phosphate = 0.2352

Molarity of the HNO₃ Solution = 0.08892 M

Now,

From the reaction it can be observed that 1 mol of potassium hydrogen phosphate reacts with 2 mol of HNO₃

The number of moles of 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= Mass / Molar mass

also,

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= 2 × (39.09) + 1 + 30.97 + 4 × 16 = 174.15 g / mol

Number of moles = 0.2352 / 174.15 = 0.00135 moles

thus,

The number of moles of HNO₃ required for  0.00135 moles

= 2 ×  0.00135 mol of HNO₃

= 0.0027 mol of HNO₃

Now,

Molarity = Number of Moles / Volume

thus,

for 0.0027 mol of HNO₃, we have

0.08892 = 0.0027 / Volume

or

Volume =  0.0303 Liters
