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.

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

Natural gas is a mixture of many substances, primarily CH₄, C₂H₆, C3H8, and C4₄H₁₀. assuming that the total pressure of the gase
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm

B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm

C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm

D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm

Explanation:

Total pressure = 1.48atm

Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4

A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625

The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm

B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625

The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm

C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234

The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm

D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078

The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm

According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
4vir4ik [10]
Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as 
<span>According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
</span>A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.  
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq)          →          H+(aq)    + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq)           →          Na+(aq)       +     OH-(aq)
