Answer:

slippery, high pH, and caustic (last option)

Explanation:

when we say base we should think soap. soap is slippery. Bases give OH- ion. when OH- is combined with H+ ion it will create water which raises the pH. Since base can dissolve fats, ex: using dish liquid to cut grease on pots and pans etc.. they are caustic. Biologically they can disrupt the cell memebrane making it caustic to cell tissue.

A 29.05 gram sample of cobalt is heated in the presence of excess oxygen. A metal oxide is formed with a mass of 40.88 g. Determ
deff fn [24]

The empirical formula of the oxide is Co₂O₃.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of oxygen</em>

Your reaction is

 Cobalt + oxygen ⟶ cobalt oxide

29.05 g +    x g    ⟶     40.88 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. Thus,

29.05 g + <em>x</em> g ⟶ 40.88 g

<em>x</em> = 40.88 – 29.05 = 11.83

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each element</em>

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Co to O.

<em>Moles of Co</em> = 29.05 g Co × (1 mol Co /(58.93 g Co) = 0.492 96 mol Co

<em>Moles of </em>O = 11.83 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.739 38 mol O

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of the elements

Divide each number by the smaller number of moles

Co:O = 0.429 26:0.739 38 = 1:1.4999

<em>Step 4</em>. Multiply each number by a factor that makes the <em>ratio close to whole numbers </em>

Multiply by 2. Then

Co:O = 2:2.998 ≈ 2:3

<em>Step 5</em>: Write the <em>empirical formula</em>

EF = Co₂O₃

Which measurement, temperature or volume, limits the precision of the data obtained in the experiment? explain?
GrogVix [38]

The answer is volume that is volume limits the precision of data obtained in an experiment  .

As while pouring of the liquids, we control the volume, but it can have been off. And this could results in the wrong mole to mole ratio.Thus it limits the precision, So the answer is that volume limits the precision of data obtained in an experiment .

Why does liquid exerts pressure​
andriy [413]

Answer:

The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.
