Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

Mirrors work on the principle of reflection.

Reflection occurs when a ray of light bounces off a surface, being reflecting back into the original medium.

Mirrors are surfaces over which light is reflected; as a result, objects placed in front of a mirror produce an image of themselves.

There are two types of mirrors:

- Curved mirrors: this mirrors are curved, and are further divided into convex mirrors and concave mirrors. These mirrors can produce images that are real or virtual, bigger or smaller tha the original objects, and also upright or inverted, depending on the position of the object with respect to the mirror

- Flat mirrors: these mirrors are perfectly flat. The image produced by a flat mirror is:

  • The same size as the object
  • Laterally inverted
  • Upright
  • At the same distance as the object from the mirror (4)
  • Virtual (it appears "behind" the mirror)

In this problem, the object is located 12 cm in front of the mirror.  According to statement (4), the image produced by a flat mirror is at the same distance as the object: therefore  in this case, it is 12 cm.

Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance
Zolol [24]

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".


It states a key concept in chemistry.


A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.


This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.


During chemical reactions some chemical bonds  are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.


Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.
