Answer: 5.5
Explanation:
Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.
In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.
This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.
Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.
If iodine is added to a starch solution, they react with each other and the iodine darkens to an almost pitch black.
however, if iodine is added to a solution containing no starch, it will show up only as an extremely pale brown. almost colorless and hardly visible.
when following the changes in some inorganic oxidation reduction reactions, iodine may be used as an indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. soluble starch solution is added. only iodine element in the presence of iodide ion will give the characteristic blue black color. neither iodine element alone nor iodide ions alone will give the color result.
hope this answer really helps your question :)
D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km
v₁ = speed of one car
v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10
t = time taken to meet = 4 h
distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D
v₁ t + v₂ t = D
(v₁ + v₂) t = D
inserting the values
(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680
v₁ = 90 km/h
rate of slower car is given as
v₂ = v₁ - 10
v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
