The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.


sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.

carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.

match the number of negative charges to the number of positive charges to make each combination balanced (see image for answer)
BartSMP [9]

Answer : The correct match is:

1 positive charge = 1 negative charge

2 positive charges = 2 negative charges

3 positive charges = 3 negative charges

Explanation :

As we now that there are three subatomic particles which are protons, electrons and neutrons.

The protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are located around the nucleus.

The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.

As we know that all the things are made up of charges and opposite charges attract to each other.

In a neutral atom, the positive charges and negative charges are balanced in an object. That means, in neutral atom the number of positive charges are equal to the negative charges.

So we can say that:

1 positive charge = 1 negative charge

2 positive charges = 2 negative charges

3 positive charges = 3 negative charges

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Option D. Activation energy

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction. For a reaction to occur, the reactants must possess energy equal or greater than the activation energy else the reaction will not occur.

Add a temperature of -33.0 Celsius a sample of a confirmed gas eggs or to pressure of 0.5 to 6 ATM if it's volume remains consta
Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the gas is -220.6°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=6atm\\T_1=-33^oC=[273-33]K=240K\\P_2=1.31atm\\T_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{6atm}{240K}=\frac{1.31atm}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{1.31\times 240}{6}=52.4K

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

T(K)=T(^oC)+273

52.4=T(^oC)+273\\\\T(^oC)=-220.6^oC

Hence, the final temperature of the gas is -220.6°C

In the nitrate reduction test, only after the addition of zinc to your 24-hour incubated solutions a and b is there a color chan
Lorico [155]

The nitrate reduction test identifies whether the given strain of bacteria is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite using anaerobic respiration.

In this test, the solution is incubated after adding the bacteria strain. After the incubation period is over, additional solutions Sulfuric acid (a) and Naphthylamine (b) are added to it.

If the reduction has occurred and the nitrite is present, then the solution gives red color.

If there is no color change, then the solution is tested for the presence of other reduction products like N2 gas , NH3 gas etc. This is done by adding zinc to the solution.

Zinc is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite only. Therefore a color change after the addition of zinc indicates that the bacterial strain was not able to reduce nitrate and nitrates are still present which were reduced by zinc.

If there is no color change, that means the nitrates are absent and the bacteria has reduced nitrate to some other species like N2 or NH3 gas.

Therefore , In the nitrate reduction test, only after the addition of zinc to your 24-hour incubated solutions a and b is there a color change. This indicates that the bacteria was not able to reduce nitrate to nitrite.
