Answer: Option A and C applies

- A. the lower layer should be allowed to drain through the tap

- C. the stopper must be kept in place during draining

Explanation:

Since aqueous and organic substances do not mix, they form a layer between them. Hence, require a separatory funnel with a stopper to recover each fraction effectively.

First, the lower fraction (aqueous) is recovered when the stopper is opened to allow draining through the tap into a well labelled beaker

Second, the stopper must be kept in place to shut the tap once the lower fraction has been collected. So, the organic fraction remains in the seperating funnel

Thus, Option A and C applies

Under what circumstances might be important to know the activity tendencies of elements?
ad-work [718]

Answer: It is very important to know the activity tendencies of the elements. The activity tendencies tells us about whether the element is reactive or not.

In the redox-reaction where there is a need to know the oxidizing agent and reducing agent, we can know it easily from the activity tendencies. The elements lying above the reactivity series are better reducing agents.

In the substitution reactions, the activity tendencies helps us to know which element will replace the other. The element lying above in the series will replace the element lying below it.

MX+NY \rightarrow MY+NX

where, N is an element that lies above in the reactivity series

M is an element that lies below in the reactivity series

<span>All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.<span>To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.</span><span>A giant metallic lattice – the <span>crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) </span>surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).</span><span>The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).</span><span>These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.</span><span>There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these <span>free electrons </span>(mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons)<span> (–)</span> and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond.

If the [H+] = 0.01 M, what is the pH of the solution, and is the solution a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

2, strong acid

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

[H+] = 0.01 M

pH =?

pH of a solution can be obtained by using the following formula:

pH = –Log [H+]

pH = –Log 0.01

pH = 2

The pH of a solution ranging between 0 and 6 is declared to be an acid solution. The smaller the pH value, the stronger the acid.

Since the pH of the above solution is 2, it means the solution is a strong acid.

What is the density of an object if it has a mass of 73 grams and a volume of 3.8cm3?
SashulF [63]

The density of the object is 19 g/cm³.

The mass of the object is 73 g.

The volume of the object is 3.8 cm³.

Density = mass/volume = 73 g/3.8 cm³ = 19 g/cm³
