List four metric prefixes and list what they stand for ( what they mean )

1 answer:

8 0

A kilogram is 1,000 times larger than one gram (so 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams).
A centimeter is 100 times smaller than one meter (so 1 meter = 100 centimeters).
A dekaliter is 10 times larger than one liter (so 1 dekaliter = 10 liters)
A meter gram liter is the base unit

so. kilo-, centi, deka-, and meter grams and liters

Geologists divide Earth’s long history into smaller units that make up the geologic time scale.

aleksandrvk [35]

False

Explanation:

The geologic time scale which simplifies earth's long history is broad division of deep time. It consists of a large and small divisions.

The geologic time scale is divided into large broad categories; called eons, eras, period and epoch.
The scale is merges absolute dating of events that has happened in geologic past and their relative ages.
Broad categories on the scale are further simplified into smaller units.
Relative age puts events in the order of their appearance using a couple of geologic principles.

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

which term is used when sugar is completely dissolved in water

GaryK [48]

The term which is used is homogeneous.
when sugar is completely dissolved in the water, the mixture or solution homogeneous, both in same phase and same uniform texture that is liquid.
There two types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous in different phases.
If sugar is not completely dissolved in water and you see the crystals of sugar in water, then the solution will be heterogeneous.

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?(1) 1.0 M KC1(aq) (3) 2.0 M KCl(aq)(2) 1.0 M CaC12(aq)

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).

Explanation:

Adding solute to water elevates the boiling point.

The elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) can be calculated using the relation:

ΔTb = i.Kb.m,

where, ΔTb is the elevation in boiling point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

Kb is the molal elevation constant of water.

m is the molality of the solution.

(1) 1.0 M KCl(aq):

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 2(Kb).

(2) 2.0 M KCl(aq):

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 4(Kb).

(3) 1.0 M CaCl₂(aq):

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 3(Kb).

(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq):

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 6(Kb).

So, the aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure is: (4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).

Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly

DIA [1.3K]

Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.
