Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!

What is the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(x¹,y¹), B(x²,y²)and C (x³,y³)??????????<br>

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|$

$Area = 2\ units^2$

Explanation:

Given

$A = (x_1,y_1)$

$B = (x_2,y_2)$

$C = (x_3,y_3)$

Required

Determine the area

The area of a triangle is :

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|A_x(B_y - C_y) + B_x(C_y - A_y) + C_x(A_y - B_y)|$

By substituting values for the x and y coordinates of A, B and C;

We have:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|$

So:

For instance

$A = (0,3)$

$B= (2,1)$

$C = (2,3)$

The area is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|0(1-3) + 2(3-3) + 2(3-1)|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}| 2*0 + 2*2|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}| 0 + 4|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|4|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * 4$

$Area = 2\ units^2$

What is k in the rate law equation?

REY [17]

Answer:

B. A rate constant

Explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature

If the pressure inside your ballon is 800mmHG ,and the gas is at body temperature,37 degree Celsius , calculate the number of gr

SpyIntel [72]

With all of the information given (pressure, volume, temperature, and the molar mass), we need a formula that relates this all together. The formula we need is the ideal gas law, PV=nRT. Since the pressure is defined in millimeters of mercury, we need the R value that correlates with this, which is 62.4; on top of this, we need the temperature in Kelvin - simply add 273.15 to convert from Celsius. With all of this information, simply plug-and-chug:

PV=nRT
(800)(3.7) = n(62.4)(37 + 273.15)
n = 0.1529 moles

Finally, the problem is asking the amount of air in grams. We have moles, so all we need to do is multiply that value by the molar mass.

0.1529 moles x 29 grams per mole =
4.435 grams of air

The balloon has 4.435 grams of air inside it.

Hope this helps!
