Answer:

D. Dense, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, brittle

Explanation:

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It is similar to diamond except for some differences in their properties and mode of formation.

Graphite is typically a non-metal and should have properties of non-metals. Metals are malleable, ductile, conducts electricity, etc.

Graphite is able to conduct electricity because of the presence of free mobile electrons in its structure.

It is dense but its density is lower than that of diamond but higher than water.

Graphite is brittle with a high melting point which is close to that of diamond.

The law of conversion states that mass is never created or destroyed. Explain how this law requires all chemical equations to be
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

At construction sites, workers often reduce erosion by ____.
Naddik [55]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>All the above</em>

Workers at construction sites often reduce erosion by;

  • <em>Moving excess sediment back to its original location </em>
  • <em>Planting trees </em>
  • <em>Spraying water on bare soil</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process which involves the wearing away of the topsoil by natural forces such as wind, water or other forces associated with farming.
  • <em><u>Construction of roads and buildings results to large amounts of soil erosion around the world. It is therefore important to put measures that would help reduce soil erosion at construction sites</u></em>. These measures uses principals of soil control such as implementing sediment control, limiting soil exposure, reducing the runoff velocity, and modifying topography among others.
