Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Balloons are filled with light gases in order to make them float. Helium and Hydrogen are both light gases.

Helium is quite a lot lighter than air: it's about an eighth of the density of air. Hydrogen is about a sixteenth the density of air, so it'll float in air and will in fact float upwards.

Hydrogen however is twice as heavy as helium, but that doesn't mean the amount of lift off of the balloon is twice as much. The amount of lift is determined by the difference in density with respect to air.

Hydrogen is calculated to be less dense than helium, that explains why hydrogen filled balloons would go up higher.

Helium filled balloons are used because of the safety implications. The problem is that hydrogen is explosive may have some health and safety implications! Helium is much more safe to use.

Bond [772]

Answer:

144g of H₂O

Explanation:

3NH₄ClO₄(s) + 3Al → Al₂O₃(s) + AlCl₃(s) + 3NO(g) + 6H₂O(g)

From the equation:

3 moles of NH₄ClO₄ produced 6 moles of H₂O

4 moles of NH₄ClO₄ produced ? moles of H₂O

(4 ₓ 6)/3 = \frac{24}{3} = 8 moles of H₂O

1 mole of H₂O = (1 × 2) + 16 = 18g (The Relative Molecular mass of H₂O)

8 moles of H₂O = ?

Therefore 8 × 18 = 144g

=144g of H₂O

If the concentrated form of blood expander is 9.0 mol/L and one of your companions, a nurse, tells you that you need to have a f
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

0.032 L or 32 mL

Explanation:

Use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2

M1 = 9.0 M

V1 = This is what we're looking for.

M2 = 0.145 M

V2 = 2 L

Solve for V1 --> V1 = M2V2/M1

V1 = (0.145 M)(2 L) / (9.0 M) = 0.032 L

Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True of False.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1 True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. False

Explanation:

1. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)  is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and is partially dissociated, forming hypochlorite. HOCl is considered a strong oxidizing agent responsible for the killing action of germs in chlorine solutions.

2. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell, and is generally considered a weak acid. in a concentrated form, acetic acid can be corrosive.

3/4 . Methylene chloride is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. It is  a colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. It is normally stable, non-flammable and non-explosive when mixed with air at temperatures below 100 °C, but its vapor is flammable only when present in relatively high concentrations of about 14% to 22% in air. Research shows that it is very much possibly carcinogenic, and it has been linked to cancer of the lungs, liver, pancreas, breast cancer and salivary gland cancer in laboratory animals.

5. Laboratory and medical waste are not to be disposed in the trash with regular wastes, as they are potentially toxic. Special disposal methods and agencies exists to take away such wastes.

larisa86 [58]
When water freezes into ice, some of the properties have change. What stays the same.




Answer: 1: Ice Melting is a physical change. When liquid water (H2O) freezes into a solid state (ice), it appears changed; However, this change is only physical as the the composition of the constituent molecules is the same: 11.19% hydrogen and 88.81% oxygen by mass.
