Answer:

Explanation:

The dissolution of salt in water is basically a physical process and the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed applies. The mass of each component before dissolution will be same after dissolution.

When one pound of salt is dissolved in 20 pounds of water, the resulting solution will weigh 1+20 pounds.

mass of solution = mass of salt + mass of water

= 1+20

mass of solution = 21 pounds

Magnesium + Hydrocloric acid -> Magnesium chloride + hydrogen

You can observe a single displacement reaction

"Describe to show that the has formed is hydrogen"

I don't know what you mean. I can show the chemical equation though.

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl 2(aq) + H 2(g)

Describe how the meniscus is used to read volume measurements on a graduated cylinder

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Tthe liquid in a graduated cylinder curves up at the edge where the liquid meets the wall of the cylinder. This curve in the liquid is called the meniscus and is used to determiine the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder by observing the measurement tick closest to the bottom of the meniscus.

Show all calculations. 1. 2 C 4 H 10 + 13 O 2 -> 8 CO 2 + 10 H 2 O a) what mass of O 2 will react with 400 g C 4 H 10? b) how

bazaltina [42]

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 2C_4H_10+13O_2\longrightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O$

13mol of O_2 reacts with 2mols of C_4H_10.
7.5mol of O_2 reacts with 1mol of C_4H_10

No of moles:-

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{400}{58}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6.89mol$

Now

Moles of O_2

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 7.5(6.89)=51.6mol$

Mass of O_2

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 51.6(32)=1651.2g$

What force in liquids causes surface tension? covalent forces intermolecular forces intramolecular forces ionic forces.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces cause surface tension.

Source info:
"Surface tension, capillary action, and viscosity are unique properties of liquids that depend on the nature of intermolecular interactions."
