Answer:

a. add a little distilled water to see which layer the water adds to

Explanation:

The problem tells us to keep in mind two major aspects of the test: It has to be <em>simple</em>, as well as <em>non-destructive</em>:

  • Adding distilled water can be made in under a minute, without requiring specialized laboratory equipment, unlike IR.
  • It is also non-destructive, because the contents on either layer won't change due to the added distilled water.

A. add a little-distilled water to see which layer the water adds to

depending density of organic solvent-water layer can be top or bottom when we add little water you can absorb water addition or repulsion which helps to identify water layer

A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm , a length of 17.1 cm , and height of 4.6 cm . Its mass is 1.4 kg . Calculate the density
dsp73

The Density of  the metal  is 5.6 g/cm³

<h3>What is the density of a substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substance.

  • Density = mass/volume


The density of the metal is calculated as follows:

mass of metal = 1.4 kg = 1400 g

volume of metal = 3.2 * 17.1 * 4.6 = 251.712 cm³

Density of metal = 1400 g/251.712 cm³

Density of the metal  = 5.6 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal is obtained from the mass and the volume of the metal.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!

Certain stages of the water cycle
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

evaporation is most likely to occur on a warm sunny day

Explanation:

Evaporation rates are higher at higher temperatures because as temperature increases, the amount of energy necessary for evaporation decreases. In sunny, warm weather the loss of water by evaporation is greater than in cloudy and cool weather. ... So, sunny, hot, dry, windy conditions produce higher evaporation rates.
