The rate of change in the amount of silver supplied is equal to the ratio of the difference in the amount supplied to the number of years elapsed from 2005 to 2008. That is,
               rate of change = (25 - 200) / (2008 - 2005) = -173/3
The answer is letter A.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Amount of silver exported in 2005 = 200 tons

Amount of silver exported in 2008 = 25 tons

Rate of change of silver output:

\frac{\text{Silver exported in 2008}-\text{Silver exported in 2005-}}{\text{time elapsed}}=\frac{25-200}{2008-2005}=\frac{-175}{3}

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting
ad-work [718]

Answer:

            Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting <u>Electrons</u>.

Explanation:

                   The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

                    Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

                   Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

What volume of air is needed to burn completely 100cm of propane?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

propane mole weight = 44 gm / mole

100 gm / 44 gm / mole = 2.27 moles

From the equation, 5 times as many moles of OXYGEN (O2)are required

   = 11.36 moles of oxygen

           at <u>STP</u> this is 254.55  liters of O2 (because 22.4 L = one mole) and

Using oxygen as 21 percent of air means that

      .21 x = 254.55 =       x = <u>1212.12 liters of air required </u>

What is the volume (in liters) occupied by 49.8 g og HCl at STP
Anon25 [30]

Using ideal gas equation,

P\times V=n\times R\times T

Here,

P denotes pressure

V denotes volume

n denotes number of moles of gas

R denotes gas constant

T denotes temperature

The values at STP will be:

P=1 atm

T=273 K

R=0.0821 atm L mol ⁻¹

Mass of HCl given= 49.8 g

Molar mass of HCl given=36.41

Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{Given mass of the substance}{Molar mass of the substance}

Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{49.8}{36.46}

Number of moles of gas, n= 1.36

Putting all the values in the above equation,

V=\frac{1.36\times 0.0821\times 273}{1}

V=30.6 L

So the volume will be 30.6 L.

If approximately equal volumes of an acid and a base of equal strengths are combined, the resulting solution should have a pH of
Masja [62]

Answer : The resulting solution will have a pH of 7.

Explanation:

Whenever acid and base reacts with each other to form water molecule is called Neutralization reaction. This water molecules is formed from the  hydronium ion (H^+) from acid and hydroxide ion(OH^-) from base.

When the equal volumes of acid and base of equal strength are combined, the resulting pH of the solution becomes 7.

The pH 7 value means that the solution is neutral.
