There are 2 elements.
Margaret [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as a substance that contains same type of atoms.

For example, element K contains only atoms of potassium.

Whereas a substance in which two or more different elements chemically combine together in a fixed ratio by mass is known as a compound.

For example, KCl contains atoms of K and Cl in 1 : 1 ratio. Hence, it is a compound.

Therefore, in the chemical reaction, K + Cl \rightarrow KCl there are only two elements which are K and Cl.

List the 3 ways carbon can enter the ocean?
prohojiy [21]

Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean. Some of the carbon dioxide stays as dissolved gas, but much of it gets turned into other things. Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matte

Elimination of the pharmaceutical IV antibiotic gentamicin follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 h
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}

The expression for the rate constant is :

k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

Se construye una pila galvánica con una barra de cobre sumergida en una disolución 1M de cationes Fe+2 y una barra de plata sume
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} is +0.46 V

Explanation:

Las reacciones de media célula son;

Media reacción del ánodo Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Cu, E ° = 0.34 V

Media reacción catódica 2Ag + 2e⁻ ⁻ 2Ag, E ° = 0.80 V

Sin embargo tenemos para hierro Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Fe, E ° -0.44 V

y Fe³⁺ + e⁻ ↔ Fe²⁺, E ° = 0.77 V

 que es más alta que la del cobre presente, por lo tanto, el cobre se oxidará en el ánodo

Por lo tanto, en el ánodo, tendremos

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (E ° = -0.34 V)

En el cátodo

2Ag + 2e⁻ → 2Ag (E ° = 0.80 V)

E_{cell} = E_c + E_a = -0.34 + 0.8 = +0.46 \, V

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} = +0.46 V

Which of the following would be a testable hypothesis for an experiment that compares the health of salmon raised in fish farms
Nookie1986 [14]

If Salmon are raised in a fish farm then they will be healthier since they aren't being exposed to predators or disease.

I'm not fully sure if this is good enough since it seemed like your question had multiple choice but this is generally a testable hypothesis.

Heat transfer by conduction occurs when
Stolb23 [73]
It is none of the three. Conduction occurs when a heat source directly is touching an object. 

Explanation: Number 1 is convection. Key term: convection currents. Number 2 is radiation, as radiation can pass through space. Number 3 is just explaining a part of the convection current.
