Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

Which statement best describes the pH of pure water?
Ray Of Light [21]

The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium H^{+} and hydroxide \left(O H^{-}\right) ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of 1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}.

Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.

Copper was the first metal to be produced from its ore because it is the easiest to smelt, that is, to refine by heating in the
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

57.48%

Explanation:

Calculate the mass of 1 mole of malachite:

MM Cu = 63.55

MM O = 16.00

MM H = 1.01

MM C = 12.01

(Cu_{2}(OH)_{2}CO_{3})

A mole of malachite has:

2 moles of Cu

5 moles of O

2 moles of H

1 mole of C

MW Malachite = 2*MM(CU) + 5*MM(O) + 2*MM(H) + 1 *MM(C)

MW Malachite = 2*63.55 + 5*16.00 + 2*1.01 + 1*12.01

MW Malachite = 221.13

Mass of Cu in a mole of Malachite = 2*MM(CU) = 127.1

Now divide the mass of Cu by the mass of Malachite

%Cu = \frac{127.1}{221.13} =0.5748=57.48%
