Graphite is used to make pencil lead, which helps us in everyday life for writing in school, work, home, wherever you need to write something down.
Hope this helps!

EASY!!!!! ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!<br> why does measured current differ from calculated current
sergey [27]

Answer:

No component is perfect. All have tolerances that can vary. If you construct a simple circuit where a 10 volt power supply feeds a 10 ohm resistor, you would expect to measure a current of one ampere. BUT - the wiring has some resistance too. This adds perhaps 0.1 ohms to the circuit. The resistor has a +-5% tolerance. If it is 5% high, it may measure 10.5 ohms. That's a total circuit resistance of 10.6 ohms. The power supply may have a tolerance of +-1%. Suppose it's 1% low. That's an output of 9.9 volts in real life. So you have 9.9 volts dropped across 10.6 ohms. you will measure closer to 0.934 amps instead of 1.000 amps. To make matters worse, most electronic components have a temperature coefficient, that is, their values change with different temperatures. You may get a completely different reading tomorrow if the temperature is different! Finally, with current measurements in particular, you are inserting the ammeter in series with the circuit under test. Ammeters have some inherent resistance too, so by putting the ammeter in the circuit, you are changing the very current you are trying to measure (a little)! Oh yeah, the ammeter has a tolerance too. Its reading may be off a little even if everything else is perfect. Sometimes you have to wonder how we get a decent reading at all. Fortunately the errors are usually fairly small, and not all tolerances are off in the same direction or off the maximum amount. They tend to cancel each other out somewhat. BUT - in rare circumstances everything CAN happen like I said, and the error can be huge.

Photosynthesis reactions in green plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. A plant has 88.0
grandymaker [24]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Photosynthesis reactions in green plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. A plant has 88.0 g of carbon dioxide and 64.0 g of water available for photosynthesis. Determine the mass of glucose (C6H1206) produced

Answer: 60.0 g of glucose

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of CO_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{88.0g}{44g/mol}=2.0moles

b) moles of H_2O

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{64.0g}{18g/mol}=3.5moles

6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_2

According to stoichiometry :

6 moles of CO_2 require = 6 moles of H_2O

Thus 2.0 moles of CO_2 require=\frac{6}{6}\times 2.0=2.0moles  of H_2O

Thus CO_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 6 moles of CO_2 give =  1 moles of glucose

Thus 2.0 moles of CO_2 give =\frac{1}{6}\times 2.0=0.33moles  of glucose

Mass of glucose = moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.33moles\times 180g/mol=60g

Thus 60.0 g of glucose will be produced from 88.0 g of carbon dioxide and 64.0 g of water

Calculate the pH for the following weak acid. A solution of HCOOH has 0.12M HCOOH at equilibrium. The Ka for HCOOH is 1.8×10−4.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the pH of HCOOH solution is 2.33

Explanation:

The ionization equation for the given acid is written as:

HCOOH\leftrightarrow H^++HCOO^-

Let's say the initial concentration of the acid is c and the change in concentration x.

Then, equilibrium concentration of acid = (c-x)

and the equilibrium concentration for each of the product would be x

Equilibrium expression for the above equation would be:

\Ka= \frac{[H^+][HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}

1.8*10^-^4=\frac{x^2}{c-x}

From given info, equilibrium concentration of the acid is 0.12

So, (c-x) = 0.12

hence,

1.8*10^-^4=\frac{x^2}{0.12}

Let's solve this for x. Multiply both sides by 0.12

2.16*10^-^5=x^2

taking square root to both sides:

x=0.00465

Now, we have got the concentration of [H^+] .

[H^+] = 0.00465 M

We know that, pH=-log[H^+]

pH = -log(0.00465)

pH = 2.33

Hence, the pH of HCOOH solution is 2.33.

What makes water so good at dissolving other things
Nina [5.8K]

Water molecules are polar. Water has the ability to dissolve a variety of different substances. Water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Water has excellent chemical composition and physical attributes. This is why water is such a great solvent.

Hope this helps!
