Answer:

We, apply equal torque to both spheres and measure their final angular acceleration.

Explanation:

The moment of Inertia of solid sphere will be (2/5)mr²

The moment of Inertia of hollow sphere will be (2/3)mr²

Thus, the moment of inertia of inertia of hollow sphere is greater than that of the solid sphere. Since, the torque is equal to the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration.

Therefore, we design a test such that we apply the same amount of torque to both the spheres. Due to greater amount of moment of inertia the hollow sphere will acquire high angular acceleration, while solid sphere will acquire low angular acceleration.

Hence, by the measurement of final angular acceleration, we can determine, which sphere is which.

Answer: Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.

Is clear water pumped from a deep aquifer a pure substance?
Alexandra [31]

The substance which has definite composition with definite physical and chemical properties is said to be pure substance. These substances are not separated by the different physical techniques such as filtration, distillation, evaporation etc.

The clear water pumped from a deep aquifer is a pure substance because water is a pure compound which consist of constant single type of atoms or group of atoms and water has specific value of boiling and melting point. Water is also not separated into units or constituents by physical technique.

Hence, clear water pumped from a deep aquifer is a pure substance.
