Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

The independent variable is the variable that you have control of. By changing this variable, the other dependent variables will consequently change. Thus, the independent variable nature of the mercury oxide sample used.

What happens to the grass molecules when it is eaten by the zebra?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>read below</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>When the zebra eats grass, it gets energy from the sun that has been stored in the grass. Similarly, the lion obtains energy stored in the zebra. The zebra and lion both obtain the sun's energy indirectly from the energy that the grass obtained through photosynthesis. </u>

Determine the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using a 0.500M Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHP) standard
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.425M NaOH assuming the volume of KHP was 25.50mL and the volume of the NaOH solution was 30.0mL

Explanation:

The KHP reacts with NaOH as follows:

KHP + NaOH → KNaP + H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of KHP reacts per mole of KNaP</em>

<em />

That means, the moles of KHP added to the NaOH solution = Moles NaOH at equivalence point. With the moles of NaOH and the volume in liters we can find the molar concentration of NaOH.

<em>Assuming the volume added of KHP was 25.50mL and the solution of NaOH contains 30.0mL (0.0300L), the concentration of the NaOH is:</em>

<em />

<em>Moles KHP = Moles NaOH:</em>

25.50mL = 0.02550L * (0.500mol / L) = 0.01275 moles KHP = Moles NaOH

<em>Molarity NaOH:</em>

0.01275 moles NaOH / 0.0300L =

The molality of a solution that is made by dissolving a certain mass of benzene in 20.6g of carbon tetrachloride is 0.529m. How
antiseptic1488 [7]
Molality of solution = 0.529 m

mass solvent in kg = 20.6 g => 20.6 / 1000 => 0.0206 kg

number of moles = molality x mass solvent

= 0.529 x 0.0206 => <span> 0.0108 mol benzene

Which of the following would not cause an increase in the pressure inside a sealed container of neon gas?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The pressure in a sealed container means the volume of container is fixed

so we cannot change the volume of container hence gas

The other factors which can affect the pressure are

a) moles of gas : if we increase the moles of gas the pressure of gas will increase

b) Temperature: if we increase the pressure of gas the pressure of gas will increase due to increase in kinetic energy

So the following cannot increase pressure

a) decrease in moles of gas

b) decrease in temperature of gas
