Method One of Three:
Identifying the Proper Waste Disposal Method

Read the material safety data sheet.
chemical products come with disposal instructions right on the label and following those instructions should be enough. Even for products without disposal instructions, you should still read the labels so you can be aware of the warnings and cautions concerning said products.
Items such as batteries and light bulbs have to be recycled at special recycling centers.
Never mix cleaning products together. If you only have a small amount of cleaning product left in each bottle, it may be tempting to mix them into one bottle for disposal. Different chemicals can react with each other to form very hazardous fumes and noxious gases.

Search the list of hazardous waste

In addition to the product label, you want to read the MSDS for industrial chemicals. The MSDS gives you important information about the chemical: its toxicity, reactivity, and disposal considerations.
Every chemical product you buy should come with an MSDS sheet. However, you can also use the online MSDS database to look up the MSDS for the specific formulation of the chemical you wish to dispose.[1]

A student is investigating the transfer of energy between potential and kinetic. The student observes a roller coaster at four l

Bingel [31]

I am not sure what the graph looks like, so I don’t know which parts of the roller coaster is marked. However, I believe the answer is C: Kinetic energy is created during a roller coaster ride, since a roller coaster typically has a lot of built up potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when the roller falls from a large hill on the tracks.

What is the atomic number (Z) of an atom containing 30 neutrons and having A= 70?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

A= mass number = number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Z= number of electrons = number of protons
Given, number of neutrons= 30

Z = A - 30 = 70 - 30 = 40

Z = 40
