Answer:

Because sodium and potassium are very reactive metals so they react explosively with HCL and H2SO4 evolving a large amount of heat.

Answer:

Potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium all react violently

with dilute sulfuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid.

It is dangerous to put thesemetals into an acid.

The reaction is similar to the reaction with water,

forming the metal salt (either sulfate or chloride) plus H2(g).

A sample of propane (C3H8) has a mass of 0. 47 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1. 350 kg and a

Nady [450]

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

The specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The specific heat has been expressed as:

$q=mc\Delta T$

<h3 /><h3>Computation for the heat absorbed</h3>

The iron and calorimeter are in side the closed system. Thus, the energy released by the sample, has been equivalent to the energy absorbed by the calorimeter.

$q_{released}=q_{absorbed}\\
q_{released}=m_{calorimeter}\;c_{calorimeter}\;\Delta T$

The given mass of calorimeter has been, $m_{calorimeter}=1350\;\rm g$

The specific heat of the calorimeter has been, $c_{calorimeter}=5.82\;\rm J/g^\circ C$

The change in temperature of the calorimeter has been, $\Delta T=2.87^\circ \rm C$

Substituting the values for heat released:

$q_{released}= 1350\;\text g\;\times\;5.82\;\text J/\text g^\circ \text C\;\times\;2.87^\circ \text C\\
q_{released}=22,549.5\;\text J\\
q_{released}}=22.54\;\rm kJ$

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

WORTH 20 POINTS Confirmation bias is where a scientist may change the data to support a certain bias.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Confirmation Bias is the tendency to look for information that supports, rather than rejects, one’s preconceptions, typically by interpreting evidence to confirm existing beliefs while rejecting or ignoring any conflicting data

What must happen before a body cell can begin mitotic cell division

Musya8 [376]

Answer: The correct answer is- Replication of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) must happen before a body cell can begin mitotic cell division.

Mitotic division is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides two identical daughter cells ( through a series of five stages that is- prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis) having same number of chromosomes as that of the parental cell.

It occupies the second stage of cell cycle, the first being interphase ( which has three stages that is G1, S, and G2 phase). Replication of DNA takes place in the interphase ( particulary in the S phase) so that cell is ready to divide in the mitotic phase.

Thus, replication of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) must happen before a body cell can begin mitotic cell division.
