Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Answer:
La transformación de energía es un proceso en el que la energía se intercambia entre un sistema y el medio ambiente en al menos dos formas de energía diferentes entre sí. Por ejemplo, un panel solar convierte la energía lumínica en energía eléctrica.
En cambio, en la transferencia de energía, esta no cambia su forma sino que es transmitida de un cuerpo a otro. El ejemplo más claro es el de la fogata, que transmite calor al medio ambiente a través de radiación.
The potential energy of a 30N ball on the ground will be zero. With respect to height, h. Potential energy will be calculated like this. P=mgh. So if its on the ground relatively speaking the h=0. Thus inputting into the above formula. P=0.
2) transverse
hope this helped:)
Unicellular: An organism that consists of a single cell
Multicellular: An organism with multiple cells
Eukaryotic: A cell that contains a nucleus
Prokaryotic: A cell with no nucleus
Autotrophic: An organism that has the ability to make their own food
Heterotrophic: Organism that cannot create their own food
Asexual reproduction: When an organism has the ability to create offspring without the help of another organism
Sexual Reproduction: When two organisms create an offspring using the gametes
