Answer:
A. They must be kept separate from moisture and oxygen
Explanation:
Alkali metals refers to a group of chemical elements in the periodic table. It is the common name given to Group 1 elements (excluding hydrogen). They are generally metallic in nature with physical properties like shining lustre, silvery in appearance etc. Alkali metals include lithium, Pottasium, Sodium, Rubidium etc.
One important chemical property of alkali metals is their high reactivity i.e. they tend to react quickly with other substances. For example, alkali metals react vigorously with water to form hydroxides. They also react with oxygen to form oxides. Due to this highly reactive properties, they are kept or stored away from moisture (water) and oxygen (present in air).
Answer:
Making oxygen
Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:
hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.
Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.
To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.
Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.
Answer:
C. Mutations are a change in DNA or a chromosome and can be helpful, harmful or may have no affect.
Explanation:
- Mutations are spontaneous random changes that occurs in the genetic make up of an organisms. Mutations are rare and their rate of occurrence is random.
- Mutations may occur on the gene level known as gene mutations or at chromosome levels called chromosomal mutations.
- Mutations may be beneficial, harmful or have no effect on a given organisms. Harmful mutations cause disorders that may lead to abnormality or death of an organisms. Beneficial mutations improve an organisms adaptability to the environment.
D. precision. At first glance you can mark out A and B because the answers does not relate to the question. If question had said "what do you call it when the measurement is close to the actual answer" then you would have picked C. So that leaves you D. precision.
Answer:
im pretty sure its groundwater just read this and see the answer
Explanation:
The ocean holds about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is found in the ocean.
