the directions in the candy recipe for pralines instruct the cook to remove the pot containing the candy mixture from the heat w

hen the candy micture reaches the soft-ball stage. the soft ball stage corresponds to the temperature of 236°F. after the soft ball stage is reached ,the pecans and vanilla are added. can a celsius thermometer with a range of -10°C be used to determine when the soft ball stage is reached in the candy micture? why or why not?

A Celsius thermometer with a range of -10°C cannot be used to determine when the soft ball stage is reached in the candy mixture.  

Temperature is most commonly measured with a thermometer that has two different scales: Fahrenheit and Celsius. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C on the Celsius scale and freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F on the Fahrenheit scale.

Temperature of 236°F corresponds to 113.3°C. Now a Celsius scale has a maximum of 100°C on the thermometer. Hence a Celsius thermometer cannot be used to measure a temperature that corresponds to 236°F.

Which of the following is true about nuclear fission?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

If you add the masses of all the products after fission, they are LESS than the mass of the reactants.

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is a radioactive reaction which in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into 2 lighter nuclei and some neutrons with a release of large amount of energy.

When nuclear fission occurs, a mass deficit between the decaying nuclei and the product occurs. It is this mass that actually yields the energy that is produced as a by product of the reaction.

Which factors cause a rising tide
mestny [16]

High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

What is the boiling point of a solution made by adding 6.69 g of magnesium chloride to 250.0 g of water?. Use the formula of the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

100.432ºC

Explanation:

Ebullioscopy is the elevation of the boiling point of a solvent that has a solute nonvolatile dissolved. The change in the temperature may be calculated by Raoult's law:

ΔT = Kb.W.i

Where <em>ΔT</em> is the temperature change, <em>Kb</em> is the ebullioscopy constant,<em> W</em> is the molality and <em>i</em> is the Van't Hoff factor, which determinates the particles that affect the proper.

The molality is:

W = m1/(M1xm2)

Where <em>m1</em> is the solute mass (in g), <em>M1</em> is the molar mass of the solute, and <em>m2</em> is the mass of the solvent (in kg).

The Van't Hoff factor is the number of final particles divided by the number of initial particles. Magnesium is from froup 2, so it forms the cation Mg⁺², and chlorine ins from group 7 and forms the anion Cl⁻, the salt is MgCl₂ and dissociates:

MgCl₂  → Mg⁺²(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

So, it has 1 particle in initial, and 3 in final (1  Mg⁺² and 2 Cl⁻). So:

i = 3/1 = 3.

The molar mass of MgCl₂ is: 24.3 + 2x35.5 = 95.3 g/mol, m1 = 6.69g, m2 = 0.250 kg, so:

W = 6.69/(95.3x0.250)

W = 0.281 m

Then:

ΔT = 0.512x0.281x3

ΔT = 0.432ºC

The normal boling point of water is 100ºC, so

T - 100 = 0.432

T = 100.432ºC
