C.
D.
E.

These should be the main reasons. As Pluto was mainly categorized in dwarf planet for not being able to satisfy the last statement which states that it should have a fixed neighbourhood with other planets.

What toupee of matter is oxygen
Aleksandr [31]

All matter is made from atoms with the configuration of the atom, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, determining the kind of matter present (oxygen, lead, silver, neon ...). Every substance has a unique number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Oxygen, for example, has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. Individual atoms can combine with other atoms to form molecules. Water molecules contain two atoms of hydrogen H and one atom of oxygen O and is chemically called H2O. Oxygen and nitrogen, which are the major components of air, occur in nature as diatomic (two atom) molecules. Regardless of the type of molecule, matter normally exists as either a solid, a liquid, or a gas. We call this property of matter the phase of the matter. The three normal phases of matter have unique characteristics which are listed on the slide.

Solid

In the solid phase the molecules are closely bound to one another by molecular forces. A solid holds its shape and the volume of a solid is fixed by the shape of the solid.

Liquid

In the liquid phase the molecular forces are weaker than in a solid. A liquid will take the shape of its container with a free surface in a gravitational field. In microgravity, a liquid forms a ball inside a free surface. Regardless of gravity, a liquid has a fixed volume.

Gas

In the gas phase the molecular forces are very weak. A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container.

Fluids (Liquids and Gases)

Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move. In any fluid, the molecules themselves are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of any container. The motion of fluids and the reaction to external forces are described by the Navier-Stokes Equations, which express a conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The motion of solids and the reaction to external forces are described by Newton's Laws of Motion.

Any substance can occur in any phase. Under standard atmospheric conditions, water exists as a liquid. But if we lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, water changes its phase into a solid called ice. Similarly, if we heat a volume of water above 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, water changes its phase into a gas called water vapor. Changes in the phase of matter are physical changes, not chemical changes. A molecule of water vapor has the same chemical composition, H2O, as a molecule of liquid water or a molecule of ice.

When studying gases , we can investigate the motions and interactions of individual molecules, or we can investigate the large scale action of the gas as a whole. Scientists refer to the large scale motion of the gas as the macro scale and the individual molecular motions as the micro scale. Some phenomenon are easier to understand and explain based on the macro scale, while other phenomenon are more easily explained on the micro scale. Macro scale investigations are based on things that we can easily observe and measure. But micro scale investigations are based on rather simple theories because we cannot actually observe an individual gas molecule in motion. Macro scale and micro scale investigations are just two views of the same thing.

Plasma - the "fourth phase"

The three normal phases of matter listed on the slide have been known for many years and studied in physics and chemistry classes. In recent times, we have begun to study matter at the very high temperatures and pressures which typically occur on the Sun, or during re-entry from space. Under these conditions, the atoms themselves begin to break down; electrons are stripped from their orbit around the nucleus leaving a positively charged ion behind. The resulting mixture of neutral atoms, free electrons, and charged ions is called a plasma. A plasma has some unique qualities that causes scientists to label it a "fourth phase" of matter. A plasma is a fluid, like a liquid or gas, but because of the charged particles present in a plasma, it responds to and generates electro-magnetic forces. There are fluid dynamic equations, called the Boltzman equations, which include the electro-magnetic forces with the normal fluid forces of the Navier-Stokes equations. NASA is currently doing research into the use of plasmas for an ion propulsion system.

A solution contains one or more of the following ions: Ag , Ca2 , and Co2 . Lithium bromide is added to the solution and no prec
koban [17]

Answer:

Ca^{2+}  and  Co^{2+}

Explanation:

Given:

A solution contains one or more of the following ions such as Ag, Ca_2 and Co_2

Here the Lithium bromide is added to the solution and no precipitate forms

Solution:

Since with LiBr no precipitation takes place therefore Ag+ is absent

Here on adding Li_2SO_4 to it precipitation takes place.

Precipitate is as follows,

Ca^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^2^-(aq)----->CASO_4(s)

Thus,

Ca^2^+ is present

When Li_3PO_4 is added again precipitation takes place.

Therefore the reaction is as follows,

Co^2^+(aq)+PO_4^3^-(aq)------>Co_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Therefore,

Ca^{2+}  and  Co^{2+} are present in the solution

Water is dripping into a bucket at a rate of 51 drops per minute. if each drop has a volume of 0.050 milliliters, what volume of
serious [3.7K]

112.2 milliliters volume of water will drip into the bucket in 44 minutes.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

How much space an object or substance takes up. • Measured in cubic meters (m3), liters (L) & milliliters (mL).

Total drop = Drops per minute X time

= 51 drops per minute X 44 minutes

=2244 drop

Volume of water will drip into the bucket in 44 minutes

=Total drop X Volume of each drop

=0.050 milliliters X 2244 drop

=112.2 milliliters

Hence, 112.2 milliliters volume of water will drip into the bucket in 44 minutes.

What is the transition interval for phenol red? 24 a. pH 3.1-4.4 b. pH 6.4-8.0 c. pH 6.2-7.6 d. pH 8.0-10.0
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct option is: b. pH 6.4-8.0

Explanation:

Phenol red is a weak acid that is used as a pH indicator and exists in the form of stable red crystals.

<u>The color of the phenol red solution changes from yellow to red when the change in pH is observed. The color of phenol red transitions from yellow to red when the pH is 6.8 - 8.2 or 6.4 - 8.0</u>

Above the pH of 8.2, the phenol red solution turns a bright pink in color.

Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?
Aleksandr [31]

Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.

-----------------------------

A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.

However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
