The only option that makes sense is D). Stirring will increase the contact between solute and solvent.

The correct option is D.

When dissolving a substance in a solvent, stirring the solution will increased the rate at which the substance dissolved. This is because, when one stirs a solution, it exposes more surface area of the solute to the solvent, thus, increasing the interaction between the solute and the solvent. The higher the quantity of the solute that is exposed to the solvent, the higher the rate of dissolution of the solute.

What visible evidence indicates that a solution is saturated?

AVprozaik [17]

The greatest visual evidence you can use when trying to determine if a solution is saturated is to look and see if everything in the test tube is a single color and a single consistency.

Is one quarter the size of earth, has no moons, and has an almost non-existent atmosphere

PIT_PIT [208]

For the answer to the question above,
If you mean planet, that would be Mercury. There are other objects in our solar system that could fit the criteria.
Our moon, Ganymede, and Callisto are about a quarter the size of Earth and have no atmosphere or moon.

During a routine check of the fluoride content of Gotham City\'s water supply, the following results were obtained from replicat

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The mean is $x=0.503\frac{mg}{L}$

The 90% confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[0.492\frac{mg}{L},0.514\frac{mg}{L}]$

Explanation:

1. First organize the data:

$x_{1}=0.487$

$x_{2}=0.487$

$x_{3}=0.511$

$x_{4}=0.511$

$x_{5}=0.519$

As there are 5 data, the sample size (n) is n=5

2. Calculate the mean x:

The mean is calculated adding up all the data and divide them between the sample size.

$x=\frac{0.511+0.487+0.511+0.487+0.519}{5}$

$x=0.503\frac{mg}{L}$

3. Find 90% confidence interval.

The formula to find the confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[x+/-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}*(\frac{d}{\sqrt{n}})]$ (Eq.1)

where x is the mean, d is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

And

$1-\alpha=0.90$

$\alpha=0.10$

$\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.05$

$z_{0.05}=1.645$

4. Find the standard deviation

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(x_{1}-x)^{2}+(x_{2}-x)^{2}+(x_{3}-x)^{2}+(x_{4}-x)^{2}+(x_{5}-x)^{2}}{n-1}}$

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(0.487-0.503)^{2}+(0.487-0.503)^{2}+(0.511-0.503)^{2}+(0.511-0.503)^{2}+(0.519-0.503)^{2}}{4}}$

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(-0.016)^{2}+(-0.016)^{2}+(0.008)^{2}+(0.008)^{2}+(0.016)^{2}}{4}}$

$d=\sqrt{2.24*10^{-4}}$

$d=0.015$

5. Replace values in (Eq.1):

$i_{0.90}=[0.503+/-1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

For the addition:

$i_{0.90}=[0.503+1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

$i_{0.90}=0.514$

For the subtraction:

$i_{0.90}=[0.503-1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

$i_{0.90}=0.492$

The 90% confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[0.492,0.514]$

At a pressure of 1.00 atm, the solubility of nitrogen in water is 23.5 mg gas/100 g water. Indicate whether each of the followin

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a) Solubility diminishes.

b) Solubility remains constant.

c) Solubility increases.

d) Solubility increases.

Explanation:

Hello,

a) In this case, we've got to take into account that the solubility of a gas into a liquid increases as the pressure does it (because the molecules are forced to gather with the liquid's particles) and the other way around, in such a way, as the pressure is decreased, the solubility is decreased as well.

b) Well, the outer space is related with the atmospheric pressure as long as the column of air is what is exerting the pressure, thus, as this pressure is quantified as 1 atm, there won't be any appreciable change in the solubility as the pressure remains the same.

c) Now, as the pressure is increased, the solubility is increased in a very similar way that in the a) part.

d) Submerging the solution 40m underwater means that the fluid's column above the solution is increased, thus, the pressure is increased, so the solubility is increased as well.

Best regards.
