Lab Safety Rule #3 says to always add acids or bases to the solvent and NEVER the other way around true or false?

Chemistry

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em>The standard laboratory rule is to always add acids or bases to solvent and not the other way round.</em>

The dissolution of concentrated acids/bases in solvents (water) generates heat energy. Thus, if the solvent is added to them, a layer of hot weak acid or base will be formed and this will boil and spray around, causing an explosion.

On the other hand, if acid/base is added to solvents, they flow into the solvents and get diluted immediately without any boiling taking place. Hence, it is safe to add acid/base to solvents and not the other way round.

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

What are some examples of physical changes?
Ludmilka [50]

Some examples of physical changes are:

Breaking a glass

Chopping wood

Tearing paper

Mixing sand and water

Melting an ice cube

These all are physical changes because the composition of the matter does not change.

You are required to prepare 500 ml of a 6.00 M solution of HNO3 from a stock solution of 12.0 M. Describe in detail how you woul
andriy [413]

Answer: 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of stock solution = 12.0 M

V_1 = volume of stock solution = ?

C_2 = concentration of diluted solution= 6.00 M

V_2 = volume of diluted acid solution = 500 ml

Putting in the values we get:

12.0\times V_1=6.00\times 500

V_1=250ml

Thus 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.

1. Some athletes have as little as 3.0% body fat. If such a person has a body mass of 65 kg, how many pounds of body fat does th
77julia77 [94]
1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs

65 kg  \frac{3.0 kg}{100 kg} x  \frac{2.20 lb}{1 kg} = 4.29 lbs

2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams

3 Liters  \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} x   \frac{0.94 grams}{1 mL} x  \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} x   \frac{2.20 lbs}{1 kg}  = 6.20 lbs

Which two properties are characteristic of ionic compounds?
natima [27]

They are colourless solids (salts) that do not conduct electricity when solid, but conduct electricity in aqueous solution as the ions (that carry charge) are free to move.

They have a high melting point due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

Best regards
