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.

Fed [463]

Answer:

893K=620 °C

Explanation:

PV=nRT

P=nRT/V

P= (1 mol* 0.0821* 298K)/15L      P=1.63 atm

T=PV/nR

T=(1.63 atm*45 L)/(1 mol*0.0821)

T= 893K=620 °C

Why is it important to test the crucible for cracks before heating it?
solmaris [256]

It important to test the crucible for cracks before heating it because it can break while performing the chemical reaction.

The crucible and the lid should be inspected to check for the before heating it to prevent the breaking while performing the reactions. if there are some breaks in the crucible then if we heat the crucible it can lead to breaking of the whole crucible and the material  from the crucible to come out and it will come in contact with the lid.

The crucible plays a important role while preforming the reactions, so. it important to check the cracks of the crucible before the heating of the crucible.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Hi,
the answer should be the last one, ‘neither accurate nor precise’.
The values are quite different from one another and not close to the actual value.

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistake.
